Summary
The documentation uses AzureCliCredential from the azure.identity Python library, which relies on the Azure CLI for authentication. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the documentation does not mention this, nor does it provide any guidance for Linux or macOS users. There are no explicit Windows-only commands, but the lack of platform-specific notes or alternative authentication methods (such as environment variables or managed identity) may implicitly favor users familiar with Windows or the Azure CLI, which is more commonly pre-installed or documented for Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide installation instructions or a link for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention alternative authentication methods (e.g., DefaultAzureCredential, environment variables, managed identity) that work across platforms.
  • Add a note clarifying that the Python code works on Windows, Linux, and macOS as long as the Azure CLI is installed and authenticated.
  • Include troubleshooting tips for common Linux/macOS issues with Azure CLI authentication.
