Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code samples and runbook examples use PowerShell exclusively, with no mention or examples of Python or other cross-platform scripting languages supported by Azure Automation. Prerequisites and links reference Windows-centric resources (e.g., creating Windows VMs, installing PowerShell modules), and the runbook creation workflow defaults to PowerShell. There are no Linux-specific instructions, nor are Bash or Python alternatives provided. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows tools and patterns, and does not address Linux users or their workflows.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples using Python runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation and widely used on Linux.
- Include instructions and links for creating and managing Linux VMs, not just Windows VMs.
- Add guidance for installing and using Az CLI (cross-platform) in addition to PowerShell, especially for assigning permissions and managing resources.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Automation supports multiple runbook types (PowerShell, Python, Graphical, etc.), and show how to select and use them.
- Offer Bash/CLI examples for steps that currently only show PowerShell, such as role assignment and VM management.
- Clarify any platform-specific limitations or considerations (e.g., differences in managed identity usage between Windows and Linux VMs).
