Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell scripts and Azure Automation runbooks, which are Windows-centric tools. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as Bash, Azure CLI, or Python alternatives. The instructions and code are tailored to Windows environments, creating friction for users on other platforms.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI, Bash, or Python scripts for Linux/macOS users.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell and Azure Automation, such as using Azure CLI tasks in pipelines or cron jobs.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform solutions are presented alongside or before Windows-specific instructions.
- Add a section discussing platform compatibility and how Linux/macOS users can achieve the same outcome.
