Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell for all code examples, referencing Windows-centric tools and modules, and omitting any Linux/macOS CLI or scripting alternatives. The prerequisites and instructions assume the use of PowerShell and Windows VMs, with no mention of Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux VM management. This creates friction for users on Linux or macOS platforms who may prefer or require non-PowerShell solutions.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) commands for all PowerShell scripts, especially for role assignment and VM management.
  • Include instructions for managing both Windows and Linux VMs, with links to Linux-specific quickstart guides.
  • Clarify that Azure Automation runbooks can be authored in Python and/or use Bash scripts, and provide sample runbooks in those languages.
  • List prerequisites for Linux/macOS users, such as installing Azure CLI, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Order examples so that cross-platform tools (Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly state platform compatibility for each step and tool.
