Summary
The documentation page exclusively uses PowerShell for all code examples and automation steps, assumes the use of the Azure Az PowerShell module, and does not provide any Bash, CLI, or Python alternatives. All instructions and scripts are written for PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments, and there is no mention of Linux-native tools or cross-platform scripting approaches. This creates a strong Windows/PowerShell bias and may alienate users who prefer or require Linux-based automation.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) commands and Bash scripts for all major steps, including Key Vault creation, secret management, and role assignments.
- Include a section or examples for creating and running runbooks using Python, which is supported in Azure Automation and is popular in Linux environments.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but also clarify how to adapt the instructions for Linux/macOS environments.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., using curl for REST calls, jq for JSON manipulation) where appropriate.
- Reorder or parallelize instructions so that Linux/Bash/CLI examples are presented alongside or before PowerShell/Windows examples to avoid a 'Windows-first' impression.
- Add notes or links to documentation for users who want to use the Azure portal, REST API, or SDKs from non-Windows platforms.
