Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it provides only PowerShell commands for administrative tasks (such as creating a service principal), assumes the use of Windows tools (PowerShell, Install-Module), and does not mention or provide equivalent instructions for Linux or macOS environments. There are no CLI or cross-platform alternatives for key steps, and the troubleshooting guidance is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI or Microsoft Graph CLI commands for all PowerShell examples, ensuring Linux and macOS users can follow the same steps.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives where PowerShell is referenced (e.g., 'You can also use Azure CLI or Microsoft Graph CLI on Linux/macOS').
  • Add notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, including installation and usage instructions for required tools.
  • Where possible, use platform-agnostic language and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for non-Windows environments, such as how to install required modules or authenticate using CLI tools on Linux/macOS.
