Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation updates demonstrates a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently highlighted as the primary automation language, with frequent announcements about new PowerShell versions and features. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, AzureRM, Az modules) are mentioned more often and earlier than Linux equivalents. Examples and feature descriptions rarely mention or provide parity for Linux-specific tools, patterns, or scripting languages beyond Python. When hybrid worker features are discussed, Windows is typically listed first, and Linux support is only briefly acknowledged. There are few, if any, concrete Linux-centric examples or guidance.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux shell (e.g., Bash) and scripting examples alongside PowerShell in runbook announcements and tutorials.
- Ensure that Linux support is mentioned with equal prominence and detail as Windows in all hybrid worker and runtime environment updates.
- Provide guidance and migration resources for Linux users, including troubleshooting and best practices for Bash, Python, and other Linux-native tools.
- Highlight Linux-compatible modules, tools, and patterns where relevant, and avoid assuming PowerShell as the default.
- Include sample runbooks and automation scenarios that use Linux tools (e.g., Bash scripts, cron jobs) in addition to PowerShell.
- When listing supported platforms, alternate the order or explicitly state parity between Windows and Linux to avoid 'Windows first' perception.
