Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based examples for generating and retrieving managed identities, with no equivalent examples for Linux-native tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash). PowerShell is mentioned first and most frequently for command-line operations, and there are no references to Linux or cross-platform command-line usage. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tools and patterns, potentially excluding Linux users or those who prefer Azure CLI.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line operations (e.g., generating and retrieving managed identities).
  • When listing ways to perform tasks (e.g., 'using PowerShell, REST API, ARM template, SDK'), mention Azure CLI and Bash scripts, and do not always list PowerShell first.
  • Include explicit notes or sections for Linux/macOS users, clarifying that Azure CLI is cross-platform and providing relevant commands.
  • Where possible, provide Bash script snippets or generic REST API curl examples to ensure parity for non-Windows environments.
  • Review the documentation for other places where only Windows-centric tools are referenced and add Linux-friendly alternatives.
