Summary
The documentation page for authoring graphical runbooks in Azure Automation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All examples, code snippets, and workflow references are exclusively based on Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Workflow. There is no mention of Linux, Bash, or cross-platform scripting alternatives. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., cmdlets, PowerShell expressions, System Center Orchestrator), and does not provide parity for Linux users or those using non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Add explicit notes about platform support, clarifying whether graphical runbooks and the Azure Automation graphical editor are Windows-only or cross-platform.
- Include examples or guidance for Linux users, such as how to author runbooks using Bash or Python if supported, or clarify limitations.
- Reference cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core/7+) where applicable, and note any differences in cmdlet availability or behavior on Linux.
- Mention alternative tools or workflows for Linux environments, or provide links to relevant documentation.
- Ensure terminology and examples do not assume exclusive Windows usage; consider adding a section on cross-platform automation best practices.
