Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based examples and scripts, referencing Windows-centric Azure modules (AzureRM.*), and omitting any Linux shell (Bash, Python, etc.) or cross-platform scripting alternatives. All automation instructions and code samples use PowerShell syntax, which is native to Windows and only recently available on Linux. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools, patterns, or considerations, nor any guidance for users who may prefer or require Bash or Python for automation. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric workflow and does not address Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Bash and/or Python for runbook automation, especially for users managing Linux VMs.
  • Mention and document the use of Azure CLI (az) commands as alternatives to PowerShell cmdlets.
  • Clarify cross-platform compatibility of Azure Automation runbooks, including any limitations or requirements for Linux-based automation.
  • Include guidance on installing and using PowerShell Core on Linux, if PowerShell is required, and highlight any differences from Windows PowerShell.
  • Reference Linux-specific modules or best practices for automating recovery plan tasks on Linux VMs.
  • Add a section comparing PowerShell and Bash/Python approaches for common recovery plan automation scenarios.
