Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell examples and referencing Windows PowerShell cmdlets as the primary command-line method for starting runbooks. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, such as using Azure CLI, Bash, or cross-platform scripting tools. Windows tools and terminology are used throughout, and Linux alternatives are not mentioned or linked, resulting in a lack of parity for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and commonly used on Linux and macOS.
- Include Bash script samples for starting runbooks via the Azure Automation API.
- Explicitly mention that PowerShell Core is available on Linux/macOS and provide examples using pwsh where appropriate.
- Reorder sections or provide parallel examples so that Windows and Linux methods are presented with equal prominence.
- Reference Linux-specific documentation or tooling where relevant, such as curl for API calls.
- Clarify that the Azure portal and API methods are platform-agnostic, and provide guidance for Linux users on authentication and scripting.
