Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell-based automation, with all code samples, migration steps, and graphical runbook instructions using PowerShell cmdlets and patterns. There is no mention of Linux-native tools, Bash, CLI, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. Windows-centric terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, AzureRM/Az modules, graphical runbooks) are used exclusively and presented first, with no parity for Linux or non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) commands for authentication and resource management, which are cross-platform and commonly used on Linux.
  • Include Bash script samples for managed identity authentication and resource access.
  • Clarify which steps and scripts are platform-agnostic and which are Windows/PowerShell-specific.
  • Provide guidance for users running hybrid workers on Linux VMs, including how to authenticate with managed identities using non-PowerShell tools.
  • Mention and link to documentation for automating Azure resources from Linux environments.
  • Explicitly state platform requirements or limitations for each approach, and offer alternatives where possible.
