Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling (PowerShell Gallery, PowerShell ISE) for all examples and instructions. There are no references to Linux-based automation, Bash, AWS CLI (outside PowerShell), or cross-platform scripting options. All steps assume a Windows/PowerShell environment, and Linux users are not provided with equivalent guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using AWS CLI and Bash scripts for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention and demonstrate how to use Azure Automation with Python runbooks, which are cross-platform.
  • Include instructions for installing and using the AWS CLI in Azure Automation, not just the PowerShell module.
  • Add notes or sections clarifying how Linux users can author, test, and deploy runbooks (e.g., using Cloud Shell, VS Code, or other cross-platform tools).
  • Balance references to PowerShell Gallery with links to AWS CLI documentation and PyPI (for Python modules) where appropriate.
  • Avoid assuming the use of PowerShell ISE or other Windows-only tools; suggest VS Code or other cross-platform editors.
