Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell runbook examples and instructions, which are native to Windows environments. There is no mention of Bash, Python, or other cross-platform scripting options, nor are there examples for Linux/macOS users. The use of Azure PowerShell and lack of alternatives creates friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) in Bash or shell scripts, which are natively supported on Linux/macOS.
  • Mention that Azure Automation supports Python runbooks and provide sample Python scripts for the same autoscaling task.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, but explicitly show how Linux/macOS users can author and run these scripts.
  • Reorder or parallelize examples so that Linux/macOS options are presented alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions.
