Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows tools and patterns (such as RDP, PowerShell, SCCM, and Windows Task Scheduler) before or instead of their Linux equivalents. PowerShell is emphasized as the primary scripting language, and examples or scenarios are described in Windows-centric terms. Linux tools and workflows are mentioned less frequently, and there are no concrete Linux-specific scripting examples or references to common Linux automation tools (e.g., Bash, cron, Ansible).
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux examples for all automation scenarios, using Bash or Python scripts and referencing common Linux tools (e.g., cron for scheduling, systemd for service management).
- When introducing automation concepts, mention Linux and Windows approaches together, rather than defaulting to Windows-first patterns (e.g., 'In a traditional environment, you might use RDP and PowerShell for Windows, or SSH and Bash scripts for Linux').
- Include Linux-native automation tools (e.g., Ansible, shell scripts, cron jobs) in the discussion alongside Windows tools like SCCM and Task Scheduler.
- Show example commands for both PowerShell and Bash/Python when demonstrating Run Command or Azure Automation usage.
- Highlight Linux authentication and management features (such as Entra ID for SSH, sudo usage, etc.) with equal prominence to Windows features.
