Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell. All examples and terminology are based on PowerShell cmdlets and workflows, with no mention of Linux, Bash, or cross-platform scripting. The SDK and its usage are described exclusively in the context of Windows-centric technologies, and there are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples provided.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit statements about platform support, clarifying whether the SDK and graphical runbooks are Windows-only or cross-platform.
- If Linux or cross-platform support exists, provide equivalent examples using Bash, Python, or other relevant scripting languages.
- Mention Linux automation tools or patterns (such as Bash scripts, cron jobs, or Azure Automation Hybrid Workers on Linux) where appropriate.
- If the SDK is Windows-only, clearly state this limitation at the beginning of the documentation.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux automation capabilities in Azure Automation, and link to Linux-specific documentation if available.
