Summary
The documentation page for the Azure Automation extension for Visual Studio Code shows a bias towards Windows environments by referencing PowerShell modules as a prerequisite and not providing equivalent Linux or cross-platform guidance. There are no examples or instructions for Linux-specific tools, shell environments, or package management, and the documentation assumes PowerShell is the default scripting language and runtime for local testing, which is more common on Windows.
Recommendations
- Include explicit instructions for installing and using the extension on Linux and macOS, such as verifying compatibility and any required dependencies.
- Add examples for using Python runbooks, including guidance on installing Python and required packages on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify whether Bash or other shell scripts are supported and provide examples if so.
- Mention cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core) and provide installation steps for Linux/macOS.
- List any platform-specific limitations or differences in the extension's behavior.
- Ensure screenshots and UI references are not Windows-specific, or provide alternatives for other platforms.
