Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong bias towards Windows and PowerShell. PowerShell is consistently presented as the primary or default scripting language, with detailed examples and references to Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell Gallery, Az PowerShell module, .zip packaging for modules). Linux/Python support is mentioned but lacks equivalent depth, examples, or tooling guidance. REST API examples overwhelmingly use PowerShell as the runbook type, and there are no concrete Linux shell or Python-centric examples. Windows packaging conventions are referenced before Linux ones, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell patterns.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel, detailed examples for Python runbooks, including REST API payloads and portal workflows.
  • Include Linux-oriented packaging guidance (e.g., .whl, .tar.gz) and reference Python package repositories (e.g., PyPI) alongside PowerShell Gallery.
  • When mentioning PowerShell or Windows-specific tools, immediately follow with Linux/Python equivalents (e.g., show how to list installed Python packages in a runbook).
  • Add explicit Linux/Python runbook creation, update, and test examples, both in the portal and via REST API.
  • Balance screenshots and walkthroughs to include both PowerShell and Python scenarios.
  • Avoid assuming PowerShell as the default; clarify that both PowerShell and Python are first-class options, and structure documentation to treat them equally.
