Summary
The documentation demonstrates several Windows-centric biases. In the section on generating wheel files, the Windows (Python 3.8) workflow is described after the Linux (Python 3.10) workflow, but both are present. However, the PowerShell cmdlets for managing Python packages are only shown for Windows/PowerShell, with no equivalent CLI or bash examples for Linux users. The documentation also references Windows-specific architectures (win_amd64) and tools (PowerShell cmdlets) without providing Linux alternatives or parity. There is a lack of Linux-native management examples for package operations, and the PowerShell section is extensive and unbalanced compared to Linux guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI or Bash examples for all PowerShell cmdlets shown, especially for common package management tasks (add, list, remove, update).
- Explicitly mention and demonstrate how Linux users can manage Python packages in Azure Automation, including any differences in tooling or workflow.
- Balance the documentation by including Linux-first or cross-platform sections, not just Windows/PowerShell.
- When referencing platform-specific architectures (e.g., win_amd64), always provide the Linux equivalent (e.g., manylinux_x86_64) and clarify when each is needed.
- Consider a summary table or section that compares Windows and Linux workflows for package preparation and management in Azure Automation.
