Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by centering examples and instructions around Windows PowerShell and PowerShell cmdlets. Windows tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, Hybrid Runbook Worker) are mentioned exclusively or before alternatives. There is no mention of Linux shell (bash), CLI, or Linux-specific workflows, and no examples are provided for managing variables using Linux-native tools or environments. The documentation assumes the use of Windows-centric patterns and omits Linux parity in both conceptual and practical guidance.
Recommendations
- Add examples for managing Azure Automation variables using Azure CLI (az) commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used in Linux environments.
- Include bash shell script examples for interacting with Azure Automation variables, especially for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are available or supported on Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers, and note any limitations or differences.
- Reorder sections so that platform-neutral or cross-platform methods (e.g., Azure portal, Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before Windows-specific tools.
- Explicitly mention Linux support and provide guidance for Linux users, including troubleshooting and best practices.
- Add notes or tables comparing Windows and Linux approaches for variable management in Azure Automation.
