Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell, with all examples and tooling references using PowerShell cmdlets and syntax. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, Bash, or cross-platform scripting approaches. The retrieval of runbook output is described only via Windows PowerShell tools, and preference variables are discussed solely in the context of Windows PowerShell. No Linux or cross-platform examples are provided, and Windows terminology and tools are used throughout.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Bash, Azure CLI, or Python for Linux/macOS users.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are available in cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) and which are Windows-only.
- Include instructions for retrieving runbook output using Azure CLI or REST API, which are platform-agnostic.
- Explicitly state any limitations or differences when using Azure Automation from Linux/macOS environments.
- Provide links to cross-platform scripting documentation and tools.
