Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns. All examples use PowerShell syntax and cmdlets, with explicit references to Windows PowerShell and the Az.Automation module. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using Python runbooks or Bash scripts, nor is there mention of cross-platform alternatives. Windows tools and terminology are used exclusively and presented first, making it difficult for non-Windows users to follow or adapt the instructions.
Recommendations
- Add examples for Python and/or Bash runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation and commonly used on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are cross-platform and which are Windows-only.
- Provide equivalent instructions and code samples for Linux/macOS environments, including authentication and context management.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and offer links to platform-specific documentation where appropriate.
- Reorder examples or provide parallel examples so that Windows and Linux/macOS users are equally supported.
