Summary
The documentation generally maintains parity between Windows and Linux, mentioning both platforms in installation and operational contexts. However, there is a subtle Windows bias: PowerShell is referenced as a primary onboarding channel before alternatives like Azure CLI, and Windows terminology (such as 'System' account) is explained in more detail than Linux equivalents. Windows is often mentioned first in lists and examples, and PowerShell Workflow runbooks are specifically referenced for job checkpointing, with no equivalent Linux shell workflow mentioned.
Recommendations
- Ensure onboarding examples and tool references (e.g., Azure CLI, Bicep) are presented with equal prominence to PowerShell, and provide explicit Linux shell examples where possible.
- When describing operational details (such as job execution accounts), provide equal detail for Linux (e.g., explain the 'nxautomation' account as thoroughly as 'System' for Windows).
- Avoid listing Windows before Linux in tables and lists unless there is a technical reason.
- Include references to Linux-specific automation tools or scripting languages (e.g., Bash, Python) where PowerShell is mentioned.
- Clarify workflow/checkpointing behavior for non-PowerShell runbooks on Linux.
