Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All command-line instructions and automation scripts are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no mention or example of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-compatible alternatives. The prerequisites specifically require Azure PowerShell, and the service principal creation process is described only for PowerShell users. There is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS, nor are cross-platform tools like Azure CLI referenced. The workflow assumes a Windows environment (e.g., use of PowerShell, Set-ExecutionPolicy), and Windows-specific patterns are presented first and exclusively.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions and scripts using Azure CLI (az) in Bash, which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux and macOS.
- Include notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, specifying any differences in setup or execution.
- When referencing command-line tools, mention both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI, and provide links to both installation guides.
- Avoid Windows-specific commands like Set-ExecutionPolicy unless absolutely necessary, or provide alternatives for non-Windows platforms.
- Add a table or section comparing PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI approaches for key tasks (e.g., service principal creation).
- Explicitly state that the instructions are for Windows/PowerShell and direct users to Linux/macOS guidance if available.
