Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While the core authentication concepts are cross-platform and SDK examples are language-agnostic, platform-specific instructions and examples favor Windows and PowerShell. For example, enabling managed identities references a Windows VM link first, and PowerShell is given as a primary scripting example for resource creation. There are no explicit Linux or Bash examples for common tasks, and CLI instructions are present but not highlighted as the default. There is also a lack of parity in step-by-step instructions or screenshots for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux/Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all resource creation and configuration steps.
- When referencing enabling managed identities, include links and instructions for both Windows and Linux VMs equally.
- In sections showing Azure CLI and PowerShell, present CLI (cross-platform) examples first, or at least in parallel with PowerShell.
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux environments where UI or OS-specific steps are shown for Windows.
- Review all references to Windows tools and ensure Linux equivalents are mentioned and documented.
- Where environment variables are set in code samples, show both Windows (setx, PowerShell) and Linux (export, Bash) approaches.
