Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. PowerShell cmdlets and workflows are presented first and in detail, with explicit references to 'Windows PowerShell' and Az modules. There are no examples or guidance for Linux shell environments (e.g., Bash, CLI), nor are Linux-native tools or patterns mentioned. The only alternatives provided are Python examples, but these are not positioned as Linux-specific, and the overall workflow assumes a Windows-centric approach to automation and connection management.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for managing connections, including creation, retrieval, and deletion, to provide parity for Linux and cross-platform users.
- Include Bash shell script samples for accessing connection assets and authenticating with Azure, where possible.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and clarify which steps/tools are Windows-only versus available on Linux/macOS.
- Reorder sections so that PowerShell and CLI/Bash examples are presented side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than PowerShell-first.
- Reference Linux-native tools and workflows (e.g., OpenSSL, jq, curl) where appropriate, especially in custom module and authentication scenarios.
- Provide troubleshooting and usage notes for Linux environments, including any differences in module installation or asset management.
