Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell and Windows-centric tools (e.g., DSC, PowerShell Gallery, Microsoft Script Center) are mentioned more frequently and in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. Examples and terminology (such as runbooks, DSC, modules) are primarily Windows/PowerShell-focused, with Linux support referenced only in passing or as an afterthought. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows highlighted, and the documentation does not provide parity in guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux examples for runbooks, configuration management, and automation scenarios (e.g., Bash, Python, Ansible).
- Mention and link to Linux-native tools and patterns (such as Ansible, shell scripting, cron jobs) alongside PowerShell and DSC.
- Provide step-by-step guides or references for onboarding Linux machines, including common Linux automation use cases.
- Ensure that shared resources and modules sections include Linux-relevant content (e.g., Python package management, Linux-specific modules).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, rather than Windows-first.
