Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell for scripting and automation examples, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux/macOS alternatives. All code samples and naming conventions are tailored to PowerShell, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments. There is no guidance for users who prefer or require Linux/macOS tooling, nor any indication of how to adapt the process for those platforms.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI and/or Bash scripts for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention that Azure Automation supports Python runbooks and include a sample for Python-based automation.
  • Clarify whether PowerShell Core (cross-platform) is supported and, if so, provide guidance for running scripts on Linux/macOS.
  • Add a section comparing PowerShell and non-PowerShell approaches, highlighting platform compatibility.
  • Ensure that prerequisites and instructions do not assume a Windows-only environment.
