Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong bias towards Windows and PowerShell. All command-line examples use PowerShell, including REST API invocations, ARM template deployments, and access token retrieval. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux shell examples. Even generic HTTP requests are shown using PowerShell, and file paths use Windows-style backslashes. The only non-PowerShell example is a Python snippet, but it does not address Linux-specific patterns or tools. There is no mention of Linux equivalents, nor are cross-platform alternatives (such as Azure CLI or Bash) provided.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash for all PowerShell commands, especially for REST API calls, ARM template deployments, and role assignments.
  • Show file paths using both Windows and Linux conventions, or use cross-platform syntax.
  • Include instructions for Linux users, such as how to install required modules or authenticate using managed identities from a Linux environment.
  • Provide guidance on running automation tasks from Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers, including any differences in authentication or environment variables.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and highlight any differences in behavior or prerequisites between Windows and Linux environments.
