Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell for all scripting and automation examples, with no mention of alternatives such as Python or Bash. All runbook examples, module installations, and code snippets are PowerShell-based, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and patterns. There are no Linux-native scripting examples or references to cross-platform automation options, and the 'Next step' also points to a PowerShell-specific guide.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent examples using Python runbooks (supported in Azure Automation) for creating and deleting HDInsight clusters.
- Include Bash/CLI examples where possible, especially for users who may prefer Linux-native scripting.
- Mention and link to Azure CLI and REST API documentation as alternative, cross-platform ways to automate HDInsight cluster management.
- Balance the order of presentation so that PowerShell and Linux-friendly options are introduced together, or alternate which is presented first.
- Clarify that PowerShell runbooks can be authored and executed from non-Windows platforms using PowerShell Core, and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users.
