Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples, instructions, and tooling references are exclusively PowerShell-based, which is primarily a Windows-centric automation language. There are no examples or guidance for Linux environments, such as Bash, Python, or CLI usage. The documentation assumes the use of PowerShell modules (Az, AzureRM) and Windows-style scripting patterns, and does not mention or prioritize Linux-native tools or workflows. This may hinder users who operate Azure Automation from Linux environments or prefer cross-platform scripting languages.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az), Bash, or Python to demonstrate managed identity authentication and resource management from Linux environments.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform support for Azure Automation and managed identities, clarifying which features and scripts work on Linux and which are Windows-only.
  • Provide guidance for setting up and migrating runbooks that use Bash or Python scripts, including authentication flows for managed identities.
  • Include troubleshooting and migration steps for Linux hybrid runbook workers, not just Windows-based ones.
  • Reorder or balance examples so that Linux and cross-platform approaches are presented alongside or before Windows/PowerShell methods, where applicable.
