Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell runbook examples for scheduled autoscaling, with no mention of Bash, Python, or other cross-platform scripting options. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may prefer or require non-PowerShell solutions, and implicitly prioritizes Windows tooling.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent runbook examples using Azure CLI (Bash), Python, or other cross-platform languages supported by Azure Automation.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Automation supports Python and graphical runbooks, and link to relevant documentation.
  • List both PowerShell and non-PowerShell options side-by-side, or clarify which platforms are supported for each example.
  • Add a note on how Linux/macOS users can author and test runbooks locally, including prerequisites and tooling.
