Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The focus is on Windows-native tools (PowerShell modules, Active Directory, Microsoft Entra Domain Services), and there are no instructions or guidance for users on Linux or macOS. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric environment and does not address Linux administration scenarios.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent command-line examples using Azure CLI and/or Bash scripts, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
- Mention and document how Linux administrators can perform required tasks, such as managing service principals and policies, using non-Windows tools.
- Clarify whether any steps require Windows specifically, and if so, suggest workarounds or alternatives for Linux/macOS users.
- Include references to Linux-compatible tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) alongside PowerShell, and avoid assuming the user is on Windows.
- Add a section or notes for Linux/macOS users to ensure parity and inclusivity.
