Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the primary scripting interface for variable management, with extensive examples and cmdlet tables. Windows-specific tools and terminology (e.g., 'Windows PowerShell', 'Windows Hybrid Runbook Worker') are used throughout, and there is no mention of Linux shell (bash, sh) or CLI equivalents for variable management. The Python examples are provided, but only in the context of runbooks, not for general variable management from a Linux environment. No Linux-native scripting or command-line examples are given.
Recommendations
- Add examples for managing variables using Azure CLI commands, which are cross-platform and commonly used in Linux environments.
- Include bash or shell script examples for interacting with Azure Automation variables, possibly via REST API or Azure CLI.
- Explicitly mention Linux support and patterns for variable management, including how to use runbooks or automation from Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are available on Linux and which are Windows-only, to help users choose appropriate tooling.
