Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for using the Azure Portal and PowerShell to assign user managed identities to VMs, but omits equivalent CLI (az), Bash, or Linux/macOS shell examples. The PowerShell workflow is presented as the only scripting/automation option, which may create friction for Linux/macOS users who typically use Azure CLI or Bash scripts.
Recommendations
- Add step-by-step instructions using Azure CLI (az) commands for creating and assigning policy definitions and remediation tasks.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users.
- Clarify that PowerShell commands can be run cross-platform (if true), or provide explicit alternatives for non-Windows environments.
- Present CLI and PowerShell examples side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than PowerShell-only.
- Explicitly mention tool parity and link to relevant Azure CLI documentation.
