Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell-based automation, with all code samples, migration steps, and graphical runbook instructions using PowerShell cmdlets and patterns. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Python, Bash, or cross-platform SDKs. Windows-centric tools and workflows (PowerShell, AzureRM/Az modules) are mentioned exclusively and first, with no parity for Linux-native automation approaches.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent sample scripts using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux/macOS.
  • Provide examples using Python SDK (azure-identity, azure-mgmt-resource) for runbooks, as Python is supported in Azure Automation and widely used on Linux.
  • Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, but clarify any limitations or differences for Linux/macOS users.
  • Include troubleshooting and migration steps for runbooks written in Bash or Python, not just PowerShell.
  • Add notes or links to documentation for Linux/macOS users on how to authenticate with managed identities outside of PowerShell.
