Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by referencing PowerShell cmdlets as the default automation method and omitting equivalent Linux or cross-platform scripting examples. There is no mention of Bash, Python, or other Linux-native tools, nor are there examples or instructions for Linux environments. The documentation implicitly assumes Windows as the primary platform for Azure Automation, especially in sections discussing runbooks and authentication.
Recommendations
- Include examples using Bash, Python, or other Linux-native scripting languages for Azure Automation tasks.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform support and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux users.
- Reference Azure CLI commands alongside PowerShell cmdlets where applicable.
- Add instructions or links for setting up Hybrid Runbook Workers on Linux machines, not just Azure VMs (which are often Windows-based).
- Clarify that runbooks can be authored and executed in multiple languages and environments, and provide parity in documentation for Linux users.
