Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for using the Azure Portal and PowerShell to assign user-assigned identities to VMs and VMSS. All CLI examples are exclusively in PowerShell, with no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not have access to PowerShell or prefer Azure CLI.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI (az policy definition, az policy assignment, az policy remediation) examples for all PowerShell commands.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell commands can be run cross-platform, or provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
- Reorder or parallelize example sections so that CLI examples are not Windows/PowerShell-first.
- Include a note about tool parity and link to Azure CLI documentation.
