Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell for scripting and automation examples, with no mention of Bash, Python, or other Linux-friendly scripting options. The runbook creation process is described using PowerShell conventions and cmdlets, and there are no alternative instructions or code samples for Linux users. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and patterns, such as PowerShell naming standards and the Send-MailMessage cmdlet, which is not available on Linux. There is no guidance for users who may prefer or require Linux-based automation.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash or Python script examples for monitoring and troubleshooting VPN gateways using Azure CLI or REST API.
- Mention and demonstrate how to create runbooks using the 'Python' or 'Bash' runbook types in Azure Automation, including sample code.
- Include instructions for sending email notifications using Linux-compatible tools (e.g., 'mail' command, Python's smtplib) instead of Send-MailMessage.
- Add a section comparing PowerShell and Linux scripting approaches, highlighting cross-platform options and considerations.
- Clarify that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types and link to documentation for Linux and cross-platform scripting.
