Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell workflows and cmdlets, with all examples and instructions using PowerShell syntax and concepts. There is no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any Bash, Python, or cross-platform scripting options. Windows-centric tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell, System Center Orchestrator) are used exclusively and introduced first, with no Linux alternatives or parity discussed.
Recommendations
- Clarify that Azure Automation graphical runbooks are PowerShell-based and note platform limitations up front.
- Explicitly state that graphical runbooks do not support Bash, Python, or Linux-native scripting.
- Provide guidance or links for Linux/macOS users on how to use textual runbooks with Bash or Python in Azure Automation.
- Add a comparison table or section outlining which runbook types are suitable for Linux/macOS users.
- Mention cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core) where applicable, and clarify compatibility.
- If possible, include examples or references for Linux/macOS users on how to author automation using supported languages.
