Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All scripting examples use PowerShell, and the instructions reference PowerShell-specific cmdlets and naming conventions. There are no examples or guidance for users on Linux or macOS, nor are cross-platform tools or alternatives mentioned. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and does not address how to achieve the same results using Bash, Azure CLI, or other cross-platform scripting environments.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az commands), which is cross-platform and works on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Include Bash script samples for Linux users, demonstrating how to automate VPN gateway monitoring and notifications.
- Mention that Azure Automation supports Python runbooks and provide a Python example for the scenario.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic (e.g., using the Azure Portal) and which are specific to Windows/PowerShell.
- Add a section or note for Linux/macOS users, outlining how to set up and monitor VPN gateways using non-Windows tools.
- Reference documentation or guides for setting up Azure Automation runbooks with languages other than PowerShell.
