Summary
The documentation page exclusively uses PowerShell for scripting and automation examples, with no mention of Bash, Python, or other cross-platform alternatives. The runbook creation process is described using PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tooling, and there are no Linux or macOS-specific instructions or code samples. The guidance assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows conventions, such as naming standards and the Send-MailMessage cmdlet, which are not natively available on Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Bash or Python script examples for monitoring VPN gateways using Azure CLI or REST API, which are cross-platform.
- Include instructions for creating and running runbooks using non-PowerShell types, such as Python or Bash, and highlight how Linux users can automate similar workflows.
- Mention Linux-compatible tools for sending email notifications (e.g., using 'mail' or 'sendmail' in Bash, or Python's smtplib).
- Clarify that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types and provide links or examples for Linux/macOS users.
- Avoid language that assumes PowerShell is the default or only option; present alternatives side-by-side where possible.
