Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by primarily referencing the Azure portal (a GUI tool most closely associated with Windows workflows), providing only .NET/C# code samples (which are most common on Windows), and omitting Linux-specific examples or command-line authentication flows. While Azure CLI is mentioned in the 'Next steps', the main authentication and role assignment instructions focus on portal and .NET SDK usage, with no parity for Linux-native tools, languages, or shell environments.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent authentication code samples using cross-platform languages such as Python (with azure-identity and azure-servicebus), Java, or Node.js.
- Include examples of using Azure CLI (az login, az ad sp create-for-rbac, etc.) for authentication and role assignment, showing commands runnable on Linux/macOS.
- Provide guidance for authenticating from Linux-based environments, such as using managed identities on Linux VMs, containers, or Azure Functions running on Linux.
- Reference Linux-friendly editors and environments (e.g., VS Code, bash) alongside or instead of Windows-centric tools.
- Ensure that all screenshots and step-by-step instructions are not specific to the Windows Azure portal experience, or clarify that the portal is cross-platform.
- Where .NET is used, add parallel samples for other languages/platforms that are popular on Linux.
