Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is repeatedly mentioned as the primary language for runbooks and configuration management (DSC), with Windows-centric tools and scenarios (Active Directory, SharePoint Server, SQL Server) highlighted. The modules gallery emphasizes PowerShell Gallery integration, and Windows examples or terminology often appear before Linux equivalents. Although Linux support is acknowledged, examples and tooling references are predominantly Windows/PowerShell-focused.
Recommendations
- Provide equal prominence and examples for Python runbooks and Linux shell scripting where applicable.
- Explicitly mention Linux equivalents for configuration management (e.g., Ansible, Chef, or native Linux DSC support).
- Include Linux-specific automation scenarios (e.g., managing Apache, Nginx, systemd services) alongside Windows scenarios.
- Highlight cross-platform modules and gallery resources, not just PowerShell Gallery.
- Ensure documentation sections reference Linux tools and patterns before or alongside Windows ones, not after.
- Add links to Linux-focused quickstarts and tutorials.
