Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell usage. All code examples for enabling and using managed identities (except one Python example) are written in PowerShell, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native scripting alternatives. Windows tools and paths are mentioned first or exclusively in several places, and Linux instructions are minimal and less detailed. This bias creates friction for Linux/macOS users, who may struggle to follow or adapt the steps without additional guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide Azure CLI (az) examples alongside PowerShell for all major tasks, including enabling managed identity, assigning roles, and authenticating.
- Include Bash shell script examples for REST API calls, using curl or httpie, especially for token acquisition and ARM template deployment.
- Add Linux/macOS-specific instructions for file paths, environment variables, and runbook worker setup.
- Ensure all steps that use PowerShell have equivalent CLI or Bash alternatives, and present them in parallel or alternate sections.
- Mention cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, curl) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users where necessary.
