Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell-based examples and cmdlets (e.g., Start-AzAutomationRunbook, Get-AzVM), referencing Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Workflow runbooks, and omitting any mention of Linux shell scripting, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives. All examples and guidance are tailored to Windows-centric tooling and patterns, with no Linux or Bash equivalents provided.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Bash or Python runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform runbook types and their interoperability (e.g., Bash, Python) alongside PowerShell.
- Provide guidance and examples for invoking child runbooks from Linux-based scripts, including authentication and parameter passing.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns where relevant, such as using Azure CLI in Bash scripts.
- Reorder sections or tables to present cross-platform options first, or at least in parallel with Windows/PowerShell options.
