Summary
The documentation page exclusively uses PowerShell for all examples and instructions, including setup, resource management, and runbook creation. There are no examples or guidance for using Bash, Azure CLI, or other Linux-native tools. The workflow assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows-centric patterns, such as cmdlets and context management, and does not mention or prioritize Linux alternatives. This creates a strong Windows bias and may hinder Linux users from following the guide.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for all major steps, including Key Vault creation, secret management, and role assignment.
- Include instructions for creating and managing runbooks using the Azure portal and/or REST API, which are platform-agnostic.
- Provide guidance on how to use Python or other languages supported by Azure Automation for sending emails, especially for Linux-based automation accounts.
- Explicitly mention Linux compatibility and provide troubleshooting tips for non-Windows environments.
- Reorganize the documentation to present platform-agnostic methods first, or side-by-side with PowerShell examples.
