Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell scripts and Azure Automation runbooks, which are Windows-centric tools. All code examples are in PowerShell, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native automation options. The workflow and instructions assume familiarity with Windows patterns and tools, and do not provide Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using Bash scripts and Azure CLI, which are more common in Linux environments.
- Mention and document how to use Azure Automation with non-PowerShell runbooks, such as Python or Bash.
- Include Linux-first instructions or at least present Linux options alongside Windows/PowerShell options.
- Reference Linux-native scheduling tools (e.g., cron) for running scripts, and show how to integrate with Azure.
- Clarify that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types and link to documentation for non-Windows users.
