Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell examples for command-line role management, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash equivalents commonly used on Linux and macOS. The 'Configure Azure RBAC' section presents PowerShell before any cross-platform alternatives, and does not reference Linux-specific tools or workflows. This may hinder Linux users who do not use PowerShell.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, using Bash syntax where appropriate.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI is cross-platform and suitable for Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • Provide links to Azure CLI documentation alongside PowerShell references.
  • Consider reordering sections to present cross-platform tools (Azure CLI) before platform-specific ones (PowerShell).
  • Include troubleshooting steps and examples relevant to Linux environments.
