Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by providing only PowerShell-based CLI examples for scripting and REST API calls, referencing Windows-specific tools and cmdlets (e.g., Set-AzAutomationAccount, Invoke-RestMethod), and omitting equivalent examples for Linux users (such as Azure CLI or curl). There are no bash, Azure CLI, or cross-platform scripting examples, and PowerShell is the only automation language shown for command-line operations.
Recommendations:
- Add Azure CLI (az) examples alongside PowerShell for all command-line operations, including removing managed identities and making REST API calls.
- Provide bash/curl examples for REST API interactions to support Linux/macOS users.
- When referencing scripting, present both PowerShell and bash/Azure CLI options, or clearly indicate cross-platform alternatives.
- Avoid assuming the use of PowerShell for verification steps; show how to verify results using Azure CLI or the portal.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell examples can be run on Linux/macOS with PowerShell Core, or provide native Linux shell alternatives.
