Summary
The documentation page provides a cross-platform overview of Azure Machine Configuration compliance reporting, but exhibits mild Windows bias. The only command-line example given for programmatic access is a PowerShell cmdlet (Get-AzGuestConfigurationAssignment), and Power BI (a Windows-centric tool) is mentioned as a dashboard integration option. While CLI and REST API references are included for parity, the PowerShell example is listed before Linux-friendly alternatives, and no explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., Bash, az CLI usage) are shown. The UI screenshots and workflow descriptions are platform-neutral, but the command-line and automation sections lean toward Windows tools and patterns.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux/macOS shell examples (e.g., az CLI commands) for querying compliance data.
  • Include sample Bash or shell scripts for common automation tasks alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Mention open-source dashboard alternatives (e.g., Grafana) in addition to Power BI.
  • Ensure CLI references (az policy, az guestconfig, az graph) are demonstrated with usage examples, not just linked.
  • List Linux/macOS-friendly tools and commands before or alongside Windows/PowerShell options.
