Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell, with all examples, scripting, and workflow logic based on PowerShell syntax and cmdlets. There is no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives, nor are Bash, Python, or other scripting languages referenced. Windows-centric tools and terminology (PowerShell, System Center Orchestrator, Service Management Automation) are used exclusively, and Linux/macOS users are not provided with equivalent examples or guidance.
Recommendations
- Clarify that Azure Automation graphical runbooks are PowerShell-based and may not support Bash or Python natively, but note any cross-platform capabilities if available.
- Add explicit statements about platform requirements and limitations, including whether Linux/macOS users can author or run graphical runbooks.
- Provide guidance or links for Linux/macOS users on how to interact with Azure Automation (e.g., via Azure CLI, Bash, or Python runbooks if supported).
- Include examples or documentation for non-Windows environments, or clearly state that graphical runbooks are Windows/PowerShell-only.
- Mention any future plans or alternatives for Linux/macOS parity if graphical runbooks are not cross-platform.
