Summary
The documentation page for managing credentials in Azure Automation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling. All CLI examples are in PowerShell, and references to cmdlets and objects (such as PSCredential) are specific to Windows/PowerShell environments. The creation of credential assets via CLI is only shown using Windows PowerShell, with no equivalent Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux shell examples. The documentation also lists PowerShell cmdlets first and in more detail, with Python examples present but less emphasized and no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples for creating and managing credential assets using Azure CLI (az automation credential) or REST API, which are cross-platform.
- Clarify whether PowerShell Core (pwsh), which runs on Linux/macOS, is supported for these cmdlets, and provide examples if so.
- Explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility for Python runbooks and credential management.
- If graphical runbooks or portal actions are platform-agnostic, highlight this to reassure non-Windows users.
- Include a note or section for Linux/macOS users on how to manage credentials outside of PowerShell, if possible.
