Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All examples and workflows center around PowerShell, PowerShell Gallery, and Windows-centric tools and terminology. There is no mention of Linux-specific tools, workflows, or examples, and scenarios such as copying files to/from Azure VMs are described only for Windows. Python is mentioned as a supported runbook type, but no Python or Linux examples are provided. The documentation assumes familiarity with PowerShell and Windows conventions, and does not address Linux users' needs or alternative approaches.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux/Bash examples for common scenarios, such as importing runbooks/modules, and copying files to/from Azure VMs.
  • Include references to Linux tools (e.g., Bash, SSH, SCP) and how they can be used in Azure Automation runbooks.
  • Provide sample Python runbooks and workflows, especially for Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and limitations (e.g., which modules/runbooks work on Linux vs. Windows).
  • Highlight any differences in Azure Automation usage between Windows and Linux environments.
  • Ensure that documentation sections do not assume PowerShell as the default, and offer parity for Linux users.
