Windows First
Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation provides configuration examples and instructions that are platform-neutral in most places, but references to development tools (Visual Studio, Azure PowerShell) and environment variable usage are presented without explicit Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The local development authentication flow mentions Visual Studio, Azure CLI, and Azure PowerShell, but does not provide equivalent Linux-specific guidance or examples (e.g., VS Code, Bash, or Linux credential management). There are no explicit Linux shell or tool examples, and the ordering of tools implies a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations
- Include explicit Linux examples for configuring managed identities, such as using Bash scripts or Linux credential management tools.
- Mention and provide examples for cross-platform development environments like VS Code, not just Visual Studio.
- Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and provide sample commands for both Windows (PowerShell/CMD) and Linux (Bash).
- Add notes or sections on how to perform equivalent steps on Linux, including environment variable configuration and authentication flows.
- Ensure that references to local development tools and environment variables include Linux-specific details (e.g., ~/.bashrc, export commands) alongside Windows instructions.
