Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing PowerShell cmdlets (Get-AzAutomationAccount, Set-AzAutomationAccount) for checking and configuring local authentication, with no equivalent CLI, Bash, or Linux-native examples. The use of PowerShell is assumed throughout, and there is no mention of Azure CLI or REST API usage from Linux environments. Windows tools and patterns are presented as the default or only method, and Linux alternatives are not discussed.
Recommendations:
- Provide Azure CLI examples (az automation account show/update) for checking and setting the DisableLocalAuth property, alongside PowerShell.
- Include REST API curl examples that can be run from Linux/macOS terminals.
- Explicitly mention that these operations can be performed from any platform, not just Windows.
- Balance the order of examples so that Linux-friendly tools (CLI, REST) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
- Clarify any platform-specific limitations or considerations, if present.
