Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong bias toward Windows and PowerShell environments. PowerShell is consistently presented as the primary or default scripting language, with detailed examples and screenshots. Windows-specific tools and packaging formats (e.g., PowerShell Gallery, .zip for modules, Az PowerShell module) are emphasized, while Linux or cross-platform equivalents receive minimal or secondary mention. Python (the main cross-platform alternative) is mentioned, but examples and guidance are sparse, and Linux-specific details are limited to a brief note about .whl files for Python packages. There are no concrete Linux shell (bash) examples, nor is there parity in tool recommendations or workflows for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Provide equal coverage and examples for both PowerShell and Python runbooks, including REST API payloads for Python.
- Include Linux/bash shell examples for managing runtime environments and runbooks, not just PowerShell.
- Mention and demonstrate the use of cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) alongside or before Windows-specific tools like PowerShell Gallery.
- Clarify when instructions or file formats are Windows-specific (e.g., .zip for PowerShell modules) and provide Linux equivalents or alternatives.
- Add screenshots and walkthroughs for Python runbooks and Linux package management, ensuring visual parity.
- Explicitly state support for Linux-based automation scenarios and provide troubleshooting tips relevant to Linux environments.
