Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell, with all code examples and instructions using PowerShell cmdlets. Prerequisites and links reference Windows-centric resources (such as creating VMs with PowerShell), and there are no Bash, CLI, or Linux/macOS-specific examples. The instructions assume the use of PowerShell both locally and in runbooks, with no mention of alternatives like Python runbooks or Azure CLI. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may not use PowerShell as their primary automation tool.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI and Bash examples for all PowerShell scripts and steps.
  • Reference Linux/macOS VM creation guides alongside Windows guides in prerequisites.
  • Include instructions for creating Python runbooks, or at least mention their availability.
  • Clarify that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types (PowerShell, Python, Graphical) and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Ensure that links to VM creation and management cover both Windows and Linux scenarios.
  • Where PowerShell modules are required, note how to install them on Linux/macOS (e.g., via PowerShell Core).
