Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Azure PowerShell runbooks and commands for implementing scheduled autoscaling, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Python alternatives. This approach assumes familiarity with PowerShell, which is traditionally a Windows-centric tool, and omits Linux-native or cross-platform automation options. The instructions and examples are presented from a Windows/PowerShell perspective, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for runbooks, which are more common on Linux systems.
  • Mention Python runbooks as an alternative, as Azure Automation supports Python and this is popular in cross-platform automation.
  • Clarify that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types (PowerShell, Python, Graphical, Bash) and link to relevant documentation.
  • Present examples for both PowerShell and CLI/Bash side by side, or indicate which steps are platform-agnostic.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default, and explicitly state that Linux users can use CLI or Python for automation tasks.
