Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell as the primary scripting language, referencing multiple PowerShell versions, and focusing on Windows-centric tools and patterns. Azure CLI is only discussed in the context of PowerShell 7.4, with no mention of Bash or Linux shell usage. Package management examples and system-generated environments are centered around PowerShell and Python, with PowerShell always listed first. There are no Linux-specific examples, nor is there guidance for users who prefer Bash or other Linux-native tools.
Recommendations
- Include examples and guidance for using Bash scripts and Linux shell environments in Azure Automation.
- Discuss Azure CLI usage in the context of Bash or Linux environments, not just PowerShell.
- List scripting languages and runtime environments in a neutral order (e.g., alphabetical) rather than always putting PowerShell first.
- Provide parity in package management instructions for both PowerShell (PSGallery) and Python (PyPI), and mention Linux-native package sources where relevant.
- Add links to Linux shell scripting documentation alongside PowerShell references.
- Clarify support for Linux-based runbooks and environments, including any limitations or best practices.
