Summary
The documentation page for managing certificates in Azure Automation is heavily focused on PowerShell cmdlets and workflows, which are most commonly used on Windows. All example scripts for certificate creation and management use PowerShell, with no equivalent CLI, Bash, or Linux-native instructions. The portal workaround also recommends PowerShell. While Python examples are provided for runbook access, all asset management and deployment examples are PowerShell-centric, and there are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or parity for certificate creation or management.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for certificate creation, management, and deployment, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for uploading certificates, leveraging az CLI or REST API.
- Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are PowerShell-specific, and provide alternatives where possible.
- Mention any limitations or differences for Linux/macOS users explicitly, and link to relevant cross-platform guidance.
- Reorder examples so that platform-neutral or cross-platform methods (such as Azure portal or Azure CLI) are presented before PowerShell.
