Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and terminology. PowerShell is repeatedly mentioned as the primary automation language, with features like Desired State Configuration (DSC) described specifically in the context of PowerShell. The documentation references Windows tools and services (e.g., Active Directory, SharePoint Server) in common scenarios, and the PowerShell Gallery is highlighted for module management. Linux support is mentioned, but Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows are largely absent, and Windows terminology is often presented first or exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Provide balanced examples for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Python, Bash) runbooks, including sample scripts for each.
- Highlight Linux-native tools and scenarios (e.g., systemd, cron, Linux package management) alongside Windows tools in common scenarios.
- Expand on configuration management by including Linux configuration frameworks (e.g., Ansible, Chef, native Linux DSC) and clarify how Azure Automation integrates with them.
- Reference Linux module/package repositories (e.g., PyPI for Python, native Linux package managers) in addition to the PowerShell Gallery.
- Ensure that when listing supported platforms or features, Linux is mentioned with equal prominence and detail as Windows.
- Include Linux-specific use cases in the 'Common scenarios' section, such as automating updates, managing Linux services, or integrating with Linux-based monitoring tools.
