windows_first
Summary:
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell-based examples and workflows, referencing the AWS PowerShell module, PowerShell Gallery, and PowerShell ISE. There are no examples or instructions for using Linux-native tools (such as AWS CLI with Bash or Python scripts), nor is there mention of cross-platform scripting options. The documentation assumes a Windows-centric workflow and does not address Linux users or provide parity in tooling or examples.
Recommendations:
- Provide equivalent instructions and examples using the AWS CLI in Bash or Python scripts for Linux users.
- Include steps for importing and using AWS CLI modules in Azure Automation, highlighting cross-platform compatibility.
- Mention and demonstrate how to author runbooks using Python or Bash, not just PowerShell.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell ISE) as the only option; suggest alternatives like VS Code or cloud-based editors.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel instructions so that Linux and cross-platform options are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones.
- Explicitly state that Azure Automation supports multiple scripting languages and link to relevant documentation for non-PowerShell options.
