Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (e.g., Start-AzAutomationRunbook, Disable-AzContextAutosave), with all code examples in PowerShell and references to Windows PowerShell. There are no Bash, Python, or Linux-native examples, nor any mention of Linux/macOS-specific considerations. The documentation assumes users are working in a PowerShell environment, which is more common on Windows, and does not address how to achieve similar functionality from Linux/macOS or using other scripting languages.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Bash, Python, or other cross-platform scripting languages supported by Azure Automation.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility for PowerShell scripts and modules, or provide guidance for running these scripts on non-Windows platforms (e.g., PowerShell Core, Azure CLI).
- Include references to Azure CLI commands for starting runbooks, as CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify any platform-specific limitations or requirements (e.g., differences in PowerShell versions, module availability).
- Reorder examples or sections so that Windows and Linux/macOS approaches are presented with equal prominence.
