Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns. All examples use PowerShell syntax and cmdlets (e.g., Start-AzAutomationRunbook, Disable-AzContextAutosave), with no mention of Linux shell scripting, Python runbooks, or cross-platform alternatives. Windows/PowerShell terminology and modules are introduced first and exclusively, and there is no guidance for users working in Linux environments or with non-PowerShell runbook types.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Python runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation and commonly used on Linux.
- Include notes or sections on how to create and call modular runbooks using Bash or other Linux shell scripts, if supported.
- Mention cross-platform considerations, such as authentication and context management, for Linux and non-Windows environments.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are Windows/PowerShell-specific and provide Linux alternatives or limitations where applicable.
- Reorder or balance the presentation so that Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Python approaches are given equal prominence.
