Summary
The documentation exclusively uses the Azure Portal (web UI) for all configuration steps, with screenshots and instructions tailored to the portal interface. There are no command-line examples (such as Azure CLI, PowerShell, or Bash scripts), nor are there any Linux-specific instructions or considerations. The documentation implicitly assumes use of the Azure Portal, which is most commonly accessed from Windows environments, and does not mention or provide parity for Linux users who may prefer CLI tools or automation.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for all resource and role assignment steps, including commands for creating service principals, assigning roles, and creating SMTP usernames.
- If PowerShell examples are provided in other documentation, ensure equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples are present and shown first or side-by-side.
- Mention that all steps can be performed from any OS using the Azure Portal, but highlight CLI alternatives for Linux users.
- Include a section or appendix with Linux/Bash command-line equivalents for common tasks, such as using az commands to manage resources and permissions.
- Review screenshots and UI instructions to ensure they do not assume a Windows environment (e.g., avoid referencing Windows-specific UI elements or terminology).
