Summary
The documentation provides a generally platform-neutral overview of Azure Machine Configuration compliance reporting, focusing on portal-based workflows and Azure Resource Graph queries. However, in the 'Other Programmatic Access' section, there is a notable bias toward Windows/PowerShell tooling: only the Windows PowerShell cmdlet (Get-AzGuestConfigurationAssignment) is explicitly mentioned, while Linux/macOS equivalents (such as Bash, shell scripting, or cross-platform CLI examples) are absent. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users seeking parity in automation or scripting.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and references for Linux/macOS users, such as Bash or shell scripting with the Azure CLI (az guestconfig, az policy, az graph).
- Include cross-platform CLI usage examples alongside PowerShell cmdlets in the programmatic access table.
- Clarify that all CLI tools (az policy, az guestconfig, az graph) are cross-platform and provide sample commands for Linux/macOS environments.
- Consider reordering or balancing the presentation of PowerShell and CLI tools to avoid implying Windows-first support.
