Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. PowerShell is used almost exclusively for all command-line examples, including REST API calls, ARM template deployments, and role assignments. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux shell examples provided. Even when discussing REST API or HTTP endpoints, the examples use PowerShell rather than cross-platform tools like curl or Azure CLI. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows-style file paths) are mentioned first and often exclusively, with Linux equivalents missing.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for all operations (e.g., assigning managed identities, role assignments, ARM template deployments).
  • Provide Bash or shell script examples for REST API calls, using curl or wget, to demonstrate Linux compatibility.
  • Include Linux file path conventions and clarify that examples work on both Windows and Linux, or provide OS-specific notes.
  • Reorder sections so that cross-platform or OS-neutral methods (e.g., Azure portal, REST API, Azure CLI) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support for Automation accounts and managed identities, and link to Linux-specific documentation if available.
