Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell for all automation runbook examples, with no mention of Bash, Python, or other cross-platform scripting options. All code samples, screenshots, and instructions assume PowerShell usage, which is most familiar to Windows users. There is no guidance for Linux/macOS users who may prefer or require alternatives, nor is there any reference to Azure Automation support for non-PowerShell runbooks.
Recommendations
  • Include equivalent examples using Python runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • Add notes or sections explaining how Linux/macOS users can author and run Bash or Python scripts in Azure Automation.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform and provide instructions for using it on Linux/macOS, if PowerShell must be used.
  • Present examples for both PowerShell and Python/Bash side-by-side, or at least mention alternatives.
  • Avoid language that implies PowerShell is the only or default option for Azure Automation runbooks.
