Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation updates demonstrates a Windows bias through its heavy focus on PowerShell runbooks, frequent mention of Windows-specific modules and tools (such as AzureRM and Az PowerShell modules), and prioritization of PowerShell and Windows-related features in announcements. While Linux is occasionally referenced (e.g., support for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers), examples and tooling are almost always PowerShell-centric, and Windows terminology is used first or exclusively in several places. There is a lack of parity in showcasing Linux-specific automation scenarios, tools, or shell examples (e.g., Bash), and the documentation does not provide equivalent Linux-first or cross-platform examples.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux shell (Bash, sh) and cross-platform CLI examples alongside PowerShell in runbook and automation scenarios.
  • Highlight Linux-specific automation use cases and tools, such as native Bash scripts, Ansible, or Python runbooks for Linux environments.
  • Ensure announcements and feature descriptions mention Linux and Windows equivalently, avoiding Windows-first ordering or terminology.
  • Provide migration and troubleshooting guidance for both Windows and Linux users, not just PowerShell/AzureRM/Az module transitions.
  • Add explicit documentation sections or examples for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, including installation, configuration, and scripting.
  • Where Visual Studio Code extensions or other tooling are referenced, clarify cross-platform support and provide Linux usage instructions.
