Summary
The documentation provides detailed step-by-step examples for configuring Azure Blob Storage role assignment conditions using the Azure portal and Azure PowerShell. However, it lacks equivalent command-line examples for Linux users, such as Azure CLI (az) or bash scripts. All command-line automation and testing guidance is exclusively presented in PowerShell, which is primarily a Windows-centric tool, leading to a Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples for all PowerShell scripts, covering both condition creation and testing.
- Where file paths or scripting are shown, provide bash-compatible examples alongside PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform options (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) in the prerequisites and example sections.
- For each 'Here's how to add this condition using Azure PowerShell' section, add a parallel 'Here's how to add this condition using Azure CLI' section.
- Include notes or links for Linux/macOS users on how to perform the same tasks without PowerShell.
