Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns. PowerShell is mentioned repeatedly as the primary language for runbooks and configuration management (DSC), with only brief references to Python. The State Configuration feature is described exclusively in terms of PowerShell DSC, with no mention of Linux-native equivalents like Ansible or Chef. The modules gallery and shared resources focus on PowerShell Gallery integration, and examples of automation scenarios (e.g., managing SQL Server, Active Directory, SharePoint) are Windows-centric. Linux support is acknowledged, but concrete Linux-specific examples, tools, or patterns are missing.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for runbooks, such as using Bash, Python, or other Linux-native scripting languages.
- Mention and document configuration management tools popular in Linux environments (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and how they can be integrated with Azure Automation.
- Expand the discussion of the Modules Gallery to include Python packages and other Linux-relevant resources, not just PowerShell Gallery.
- Include automation scenarios that are relevant to Linux workloads (e.g., managing Apache, Nginx, MySQL, systemd services).
- Ensure that documentation for features like State Configuration covers both Windows (PowerShell DSC) and Linux (cross-platform DSC, or alternatives) use cases.
- Balance references to Windows-centric services (SQL Server, Active Directory) with Linux equivalents (PostgreSQL, LDAP, etc.).
