Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell for all examples and instructions, including runbook creation, resource management, and cleanup. There are no Bash, CLI, or Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell cmdlets, Windows-centric terminology) are mentioned throughout, with no parity for Linux users. The documentation assumes the use of PowerShell both locally and in the Azure Automation context, which may create friction for users on Linux or macOS who prefer Bash or Azure CLI.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash scripts for each major step (resource creation, secret management, runbook creation, cleanup).
- Include guidance for Linux/macOS users on installing and using Azure CLI and/or PowerShell Core.
- Clarify that Azure Automation supports Python runbooks and provide a Python example for sending email via SendGrid.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel instructions so Linux/macOS patterns are not always secondary to Windows/PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform support and link to relevant documentation for non-Windows environments.
