Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell examples and instructions for implementing scheduled autoscaling with Azure Automation, without mentioning or demonstrating Linux-friendly alternatives such as Azure CLI, Bash, or Python runbooks. The use of PowerShell and references to 'runbooks' implicitly favor Windows environments and tooling, potentially making it less accessible for Linux users or those preferring cross-platform solutions.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and/or Bash scripts for runbooks to demonstrate Linux compatibility.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Automation supports Python and Bash runbooks, and provide sample code for those.
- Reorder or supplement instructions to present both Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Azure CLI approaches side by side.
- Clarify that PowerShell is not required and that cross-platform alternatives are available for all steps.
- Include troubleshooting and alerting links relevant to Linux-based runbooks, not just PowerShell.
