Summary
The documentation provides authentication examples for both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell throughout, but PowerShell is featured equally alongside CLI, which is cross-platform. However, PowerShell examples are given in every section, and the 'Next steps' section lists PowerShell before Linux-native alternatives. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripting), and Windows-centric tools (PowerShell) are mentioned as a primary option, even though PowerShell Core is cross-platform. The use of Docker and Azure CLI is platform-neutral, but the documentation does not highlight Linux/macOS usage or shell-specific nuances. The mention of setting DOCKER_COMMAND for Podman is a positive step for Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Bash/shell examples for authentication flows, especially for token handling and scripting.
- Clarify that Azure CLI and Docker commands work on Linux/macOS, and provide any OS-specific notes (e.g., file paths, environment variable syntax).
- Balance 'Next steps' by including links to Linux/macOS guides or Bash-based workflows.
- Consider mentioning PowerShell Core's cross-platform nature, or linking to Linux/macOS installation guides.
- Where PowerShell is featured, also show equivalent Bash or shell scripting approaches.
