Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows examples for environment variable configuration, but consistently references Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Azure PowerShell) and links to Windows VM configuration guides before or instead of Linux equivalents. The instructions for enabling managed identity on VMs link only to Windows VM guides, and the use of PowerShell is prominent throughout. Azure CLI is shown for Linux, but the Windows example uses PowerShell and a different login type, which may confuse users. There are no explicit Linux VM setup instructions or parity in referenced guides.
Recommendations
- Add links and instructions for configuring managed identities on Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
- Ensure that referenced guides and quickstarts include both Linux and Windows VM scenarios.
- Provide parity in environment variable examples, especially for Azure CLI usage on Windows (not just PowerShell).
- Clarify differences in AZCOPY_AUTO_LOGIN_TYPE values between platforms and explain why they differ.
- Include notes or sections for macOS users where relevant.
- Avoid using Windows/PowerShell terminology as the default; present Linux/macOS options first or side-by-side.
