Summary:
The documentation page is heavily focused on Azure PowerShell cmdlets and provides only PowerShell-based examples and recommendations. It exclusively references Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as PowerShell cmdlets like Add-AzAccount, Disable-AzContextAutosave, and Get-AzVM) without mentioning or providing equivalent guidance for Linux users or those using Azure CLI, Python SDK, or other cross-platform tools. There are no Bash, Azure CLI, or non-Windows scripting examples, and the terminology assumes a PowerShell context throughout.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) commands for context management and resource access, showing how to handle context switching in Bash or other shells.
- Include a section or code snippets for Python SDK or REST API usage to demonstrate cross-platform automation approaches.
- Explicitly mention that the guidance applies to PowerShell and provide links or references to Linux or cross-platform alternatives.
- Rephrase sections to use neutral terminology (e.g., 'script' instead of 'runbook' where appropriate) and clarify when a step is PowerShell-specific.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and error messages include examples that could be encountered when using non-PowerShell tools.
