Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell environments. All examples, prerequisites, and instructions are specific to Windows (e.g., requiring Windows Management Framework, .NET Framework, and Windows PowerShell). There is no mention of Linux, macOS, or cross-platform PowerShell Core support. Installation and usage steps assume a Windows OS, and no Bash, CLI, or cross-platform alternatives are provided.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent instructions and examples for Linux and macOS environments, including how to use PowerShell Core (pwsh) and the Azure CLI.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-specific and provide alternative steps for non-Windows users (e.g., installing modules on Linux/macOS, using dotnet instead of .NET Framework).
- Include Bash/Azure CLI examples for authentication and automation tasks, not just PowerShell.
- Mention cross-platform compatibility of the Az module and how to use it in non-Windows environments.
- Explicitly state OS requirements and provide links to relevant installation guides for Linux/macOS.
- Where Windows tools (e.g., Sign-in Assistant, WMF) are required, note their absence or alternatives on other platforms.
