Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation updates shows a notable Windows bias. PowerShell is consistently mentioned as the primary automation language, with frequent announcements of new PowerShell versions and features. Windows terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, AzureRM, Az modules) are referenced more often and in greater detail than Linux equivalents. Examples and feature descriptions tend to lead with Windows/PowerShell, with Linux support mentioned as an add-on or secondary. There is limited explicit mention of Linux-specific tooling or parity in examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/bash examples and highlight them alongside PowerShell in feature announcements.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support and capabilities in all relevant updates, not just as an afterthought.
  • Include references to Linux-native automation tools (e.g., bash, shell scripts, cron) where appropriate.
  • Ensure documentation for new features and retirements addresses both Windows and Linux users equally, with clear migration paths and tooling for both.
  • Add more detail about Python runbooks and Linux hybrid worker scenarios, including troubleshooting and best practices.
  • Where possible, alternate the order of Windows and Linux mentions to avoid 'Windows first' pattern.
