Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is repeatedly referenced as the primary automation language, especially in the context of Desired State Configuration (DSC), with little mention of Linux-native equivalents. Windows-centric tools and scenarios (Active Directory, SharePoint Server, SQL Server) are highlighted, while Linux-specific examples, tools, or configuration management approaches are absent. Although the page claims heterogeneous support, practical Linux parity is not demonstrated through examples or tool references.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for runbooks, such as Bash or Python scripts managing Linux services or configurations.
- Mention and link to Linux-native configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and how they can integrate with Azure Automation.
- Provide explicit guidance or examples for managing Linux workloads, such as package updates, service restarts, or log collection.
- Balance scenario lists by including Linux-centric use cases (e.g., automating Apache/Nginx, managing cron jobs, handling SELinux policies).
- Clarify how DSC applies to Linux, or mention Linux alternatives for state configuration.
- Ensure that references to modules, galleries, and shared resources include Linux-relevant content (e.g., Bash modules, Python packages for Linux automation).
