Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell examples for implementing scheduled autoscaling with Azure Automation, without mentioning or providing equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Python runbook examples. PowerShell is primarily associated with Windows environments, and its exclusive use suggests a bias toward Windows users. There is no discussion of how to perform these tasks using Linux-native tools or scripting languages, nor any guidance for users who may prefer or require non-Windows automation approaches.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for runbooks, which are commonly used in Linux environments.
- Include Python runbook examples, as Python is supported in Azure Automation and widely used across platforms.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types (PowerShell, Python, Graphical, etc.) and provide links or references to documentation for each.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux users side-by-side, or clarify cross-platform compatibility in the overview.
- Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default or only automation language; introduce alternatives early in the documentation.
