Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing examples and instructions for Windows PowerShell, referencing Windows-specific tools and cmdlets, and omitting equivalent Linux or cross-platform CLI examples. The PowerShell method is highlighted before any mention of cross-platform alternatives, and there is no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or other Linux-friendly approaches for starting runbooks. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows and PowerShell, with no guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for starting runbooks, including parameter passing and job status tracking.
  • Include Bash or shell script samples for interacting with the Azure Automation API.
  • Clarify which methods are cross-platform and which are Windows-specific, ideally listing cross-platform methods first.
  • Reference Linux and macOS compatibility in relevant sections, and link to documentation for those platforms.
  • Provide guidance on installing and using PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS if PowerShell is required.
  • Ensure that all code samples and instructions are available for both Windows and Linux environments.
