Summary
The documentation page for managing runbooks in Azure Automation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples use PowerShell, with cmdlets and patterns specific to Windows environments. File paths are given in Windows format (e.g., C:\Runbooks\...), and there is no mention of Bash, shell scripting, or Linux-native tools. The documentation assumes the use of Windows-centric tools and workflows, and does not provide equivalent guidance or examples for Linux users or those preferring Bash/Python automation. Linux alternatives are not discussed, and PowerShell is presented as the default or only option for scripting and automation.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Bash and Azure CLI for all major operations (create, import, publish, schedule, restore runbooks).
- Include Linux file path examples and clarify cross-platform compatibility for script imports.
- Explicitly mention and link to documentation for using Python runbooks, including how to author, test, and publish them from Linux environments.
- Provide guidance on using Azure CLI and REST API for runbook management, with sample commands.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are available and supported on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Add a section addressing cross-platform considerations, including differences in authentication, file handling, and environment setup.
