Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell environments. All code examples are in PowerShell, with no mention or examples for Linux, Bash, or Python. The required modules and scripting patterns are specific to PowerShell and the AzureRM/Az modules, which are primarily used in Windows-centric automation. There is no guidance for users managing Linux VMs or those who prefer cross-platform scripting languages. The documentation assumes a Windows-first approach, both in tooling and in the order of presentation.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (bash) and/or Python SDK for runbook automation, especially for Linux-based recovery scenarios.
  • Explicitly mention support for Linux VMs and provide guidance or links for automating recovery steps on Linux workloads.
  • Include sample runbooks written in Python or Bash, and show how to use them in Azure Automation.
  • Clarify which features or modules are cross-platform and which are Windows/PowerShell-specific.
  • Provide a comparison table or section outlining scripting options for both Windows and Linux environments.
