Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell and Windows-specific cmdlets (Az modules, internal cmdlets) are referenced and exemplified throughout, with no mention of Linux shell equivalents or cross-platform CLI usage. All scripting examples outside Python are PowerShell-based, and the guidance for complex variable types and management is exclusively tied to Windows PowerShell. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native examples, and Windows terminology is used as the default context.
Recommendations
- Add examples using Azure CLI for variable management, which is cross-platform and works on Linux/macOS.
- Include Bash or shell script samples for common variable operations, especially for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are available on Linux/macOS, and note any platform-specific limitations.
- Present examples in a platform-neutral order (e.g., Azure portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, Python) rather than Windows-first.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility for runbooks and DSC configurations where relevant.
