Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (PowerShell Gallery, PowerShell ISE) for all examples and instructions. There are no references to Linux/macOS alternatives (e.g., Bash, AWS CLI in shell, CloudShell), nor are cross-platform scripting options discussed. The workflow assumes familiarity with Windows environments and does not provide guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions using AWS CLI and Bash for Linux/macOS users.
  • Mention and provide examples for using Azure Automation Python runbooks, which are cross-platform.
  • Include steps for installing and using the AWS CLI on Linux/macOS, and show how to authenticate and provision VMs via shell scripts.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS and provide instructions for those platforms if PowerShell is required.
  • Avoid referencing Windows-only tools (e.g., PowerShell ISE) without alternatives; suggest VS Code or other cross-platform editors.
  • Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS users side-by-side, or at least note platform differences.
