Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell-based workflows, with all code examples and setup instructions using PowerShell cmdlets. There are no equivalent CLI, Bash, or Linux-native instructions provided. The prerequisites and tooling references (Az PowerShell module, xDscDiagnostics) are Windows-centric, and there is no mention of how to perform these tasks on Linux/macOS, nor any alternative commands or scripts for those platforms.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI (az) equivalents for all PowerShell commands, including authentication, resource ID retrieval, and diagnostic settings configuration.
- Explicitly document how Linux/macOS users can install and use the Az CLI and interact with Azure Automation and Monitor Logs.
- Provide Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell, or clarify platform support for each step.
- Note any limitations or differences for Linux/macOS users, especially in light of the referenced 'automation-dsc-linux-retirement-announcement'.
- Reorder examples so that cross-platform or CLI instructions are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples.
