Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based instructions and examples for disabling local authentication in Azure Automation. All command-line guidance is given using PowerShell cmdlets or Azure PowerShell modules, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native tooling. The documentation assumes the use of Windows tools and patterns, and does not provide equivalent steps or examples for Linux or cross-platform environments.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) commands for checking and updating the DisableLocalAuth property, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Include REST API examples using curl or HTTPie to demonstrate how to update the flag from Linux or non-Windows environments.
- Explicitly mention that the steps can be performed from any platform using REST API calls, and provide sample scripts for Bash.
- Balance the documentation by presenting both PowerShell and non-PowerShell (e.g., Bash, CLI) examples side by side.
- Clarify any platform dependencies or limitations, and guide users on how to perform the same operations from Linux/macOS.
