Summary
The documentation page lists Azure permissions for management and governance resource providers, but it shows evidence of Windows bias. Specifically, the Microsoft.Automation section heavily references 'Powershell modules' and 'DSC' (Desired State Configuration), which are Windows-centric technologies. There is no mention of Linux equivalents (such as Bash scripts or Ansible modules), nor are Linux automation tools or patterns referenced. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or terminology for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • In Microsoft.Automation, add references to Linux-compatible automation tools (e.g., Bash scripts, Python scripts, Ansible playbooks) alongside Powershell modules.
  • Clarify that Azure Automation supports both Windows and Linux runbooks, and provide examples for each.
  • Where 'Powershell module' is mentioned, also mention 'Python package' and other Linux-friendly formats.
  • Review other sections for terminology or examples that may be Windows-centric and add Linux equivalents.
  • Ensure that documentation for automation, configuration, and scripting is platform-neutral or includes both Windows and Linux perspectives.
