Summary
The documentation provides detailed instructions for creating and assigning User Assigned Managed Identities using the Azure Portal, which is a GUI-based approach most familiar to Windows users. There are no CLI examples (such as Azure CLI or PowerShell) for these tasks, nor are there Linux/macOS-specific instructions. The only automation example provided is via Bicep, which is cross-platform, but the step-by-step guidance is portal-centric and implicitly Windows-oriented.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for completing all tasks using Azure CLI, which is available on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Include PowerShell examples for users who prefer scripting, but ensure Azure CLI is shown first or in parallel.
- Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed on Linux/macOS using CLI tools.
- Provide screenshots or terminal output examples for CLI usage on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify that the Azure Portal is web-based and accessible from any OS, but highlight CLI alternatives for automation and headless environments.
