Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All command-line instructions are provided exclusively using PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, Linux CLI, or cross-platform alternatives. The focus is on Microsoft Entra Domain Services (which is Windows Server Active Directory-compatible), and tools and patterns referenced (such as PowerShell modules and service principals) are specific to Windows environments. There are no Linux or open-source identity provider examples, and the documentation assumes a Windows-centric infrastructure throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent command-line instructions using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform, alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Include guidance for users managing clusters from Linux or macOS environments, such as using Bash scripts or REST APIs.
  • Mention and, where possible, document integration patterns with non-Windows identity providers (e.g., MIT Kerberos, OpenLDAP) or clarify their (non-)support.
  • Avoid assuming the reader is operating from a Windows environment; explicitly state platform requirements and offer alternatives.
  • Reorder sections or examples so that cross-platform or neutral tooling (e.g., Azure Portal, Azure CLI) is presented before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
