Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell for variable management in Azure Automation. All CLI examples use PowerShell cmdlets, and references to 'Windows PowerShell' and 'Windows Hybrid Runbook Worker' are frequent. There are no Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform CLI examples, nor is there mention of Linux-specific tooling or patterns. The Python examples are platform-neutral, but all scripting outside Python is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az) commands for variable management, which are cross-platform.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are available or not available on Linux/macOS Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for common tasks, or explicitly state if only PowerShell is supported.
- Reorder sections so platform-neutral or cross-platform approaches (e.g., portal, Python) are presented before Windows-specific tools.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS support and limitations in relevant sections.
