Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. Most code examples and instructions use PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, and reference Windows-specific patterns (e.g., environment variable syntax, PowerShell cmdlets). PowerShell is presented as the primary automation method, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux shell examples. Even REST API and ARM template deployment steps use PowerShell for invocation. The Python example is the only non-Windows-centric code, but it is limited and does not cover the full workflow. There are no Linux shell, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting examples, and Windows tools are mentioned exclusively or before alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all major steps, including authentication, resource management, and role assignment.
  • Provide Bash shell scripts for REST API calls and ARM template deployments, demonstrating Linux usage.
  • Include instructions for setting environment variables and file paths in both Windows and Linux formats.
  • Present cross-platform approaches first (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API via curl), then offer PowerShell as an alternative.
  • Expand Python examples to cover more scenarios, and consider adding examples in other popular scripting languages used on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support and test steps on Linux-based Automation Hybrid Workers.
