Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell for scripting and automation, with no mention of Bash, Python, or other cross-platform alternatives. All examples and instructions are tailored to PowerShell and Azure Automation, which is most commonly used on Windows. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples, and Windows-centric tools and modules (e.g., AzureRM, PowerShell jobs) are used throughout.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash or Python scripts for Linux/macOS users.
- Include instructions for running automation tasks using Azure CLI or REST API, which are cross-platform.
- Add notes or sections highlighting how Linux/macOS users can set up and execute similar automation workflows.
- Mention platform-agnostic alternatives to PowerShell modules, such as Azure CLI commands for VM management.
- Ensure that examples are not exclusively PowerShell, or at least present Linux/macOS options alongside Windows ones.
