Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns. All code examples, parameter handling, and workflow descriptions are based on PowerShell, PowerShell Workflow, and graphical runbooks (which are PowerShell-based). There is minimal coverage for Python runbooks, and no examples or guidance are provided for Linux/macOS users on how to interact with Azure Automation runbooks outside of PowerShell. The SDK and REST API sections are platform-neutral, but the practical examples and instructions are overwhelmingly Windows/PowerShell-oriented.
Recommendations
  • Provide CLI (az) examples for starting runbooks and passing parameters, which are cross-platform.
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using Bash scripts or Python to call the REST API or SDK.
  • Expand the Python runbook section with parameter passing examples and clarify how Linux users can invoke runbooks.
  • Mention that PowerShell Core (pwsh) is available on Linux/macOS and provide examples using it, or clarify any limitations.
  • Balance the order of examples so that platform-neutral methods (REST API, SDK, CLI) are presented before or alongside PowerShell.
