Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples and instructions use PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows, and there are no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native examples. The prerequisites and links reference Windows virtual machines and PowerShell modules exclusively, with no mention of Linux VMs or cross-platform alternatives. The workflow assumes the use of PowerShell both locally and in runbooks, and does not provide parity for Linux users or those preferring Azure CLI or Bash scripting.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for runbook creation and VM management.
  • Include instructions and links for managing Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
  • Reference both Windows and Linux VM quickstart guides in prerequisites.
  • Provide guidance for installing and using Az modules on Linux/macOS, not just Windows/PowerShell.
  • Offer sample runbooks written in Python or Bash, which are supported in Azure Automation.
  • Clarify that PowerShell is cross-platform, but explicitly show how to use/run scripts on Linux/macOS.
  • Balance references to Windows tools with Linux equivalents (e.g., mention Bash, Azure CLI, Python).
