Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns. All code examples use PowerShell, and references to credential management, module installation, and runbook scripting are exclusively in the context of PowerShell. There are no examples or guidance for users who may wish to use Python, Bash, or other cross-platform scripting languages supported by Azure Automation. The phrase 'Windows PowerShell' is used, and no mention is made of PowerShell Core (pwsh) or cross-platform compatibility. Linux/macOS users may find it unclear whether these instructions apply to them or how to adapt them.
Recommendations
  • Clarify whether the PowerShell examples are compatible with PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS, or if they require Windows PowerShell.
  • Add equivalent examples or guidance for using Python runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • If PowerShell is required, explicitly state that PowerShell Core is supported on all platforms, and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS.
  • Avoid using 'Windows PowerShell' unless the feature is truly Windows-only; otherwise, use 'PowerShell' to indicate cross-platform compatibility.
  • Mention or link to documentation for Bash or other cross-platform scripting options in Azure Automation, if applicable.
