Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns. All troubleshooting steps, code examples, and references are provided exclusively for PowerShell, with no mention of Linux/Unix equivalents or cross-platform approaches. Windows-specific DLL errors and cmdlets are discussed without Linux context, and there are no Bash, CLI, or Python examples for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent troubleshooting steps and examples using Azure CLI (az) and Bash scripts for Linux users.
  • Mention cross-platform modules and tools where possible, and clarify which steps are Windows-specific.
  • Include notes or sections on how to perform common tasks (such as module import, authentication, and error resolution) in Linux environments.
  • Reference Linux-specific issues or error messages that may arise in Azure Automation, and how to resolve them.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and cross-platform solutions are given equal prominence to Windows/PowerShell solutions.
