Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell examples and referencing PowerShell-specific cmdlets (e.g., Invoke-AzRestMethod, Get-AzAutomationAccount) for critical operations. No equivalent examples or instructions are given for Linux/macOS users (e.g., using curl or Azure CLI), and Windows tooling is presented as the default approach. This creates friction for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI and/or curl for REST API calls, which are cross-platform.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS, if PowerShell usage is required, and provide installation guidance.
  • Present cross-platform methods first, or in parallel with PowerShell examples, to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Add a section clarifying platform compatibility and listing all supported methods for each OS.
