Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling, with all examples and workflows centered around PowerShell Gallery, PowerShell scripts, and modules. There is little to no mention of Linux-specific tools, workflows, or examples, and the only reference to Linux is in a tag suggestion. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell paradigms and does not provide parity for Linux users or Bash/Python-first workflows.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit examples and workflows for Linux users, such as using Bash scripts or Python runbooks, and how to import and manage them in Azure Automation.
- Mention and demonstrate how to use Linux-based automation modules or scripts, and reference Linux package repositories or community sources where relevant.
- Provide parity in documentation structure: when introducing PowerShell Gallery, also mention alternatives or equivalents for Linux users (e.g., PyPI for Python runbooks).
- Add sample runbooks and modules that target Linux automation scenarios, such as managing Linux VMs, using SSH, or handling Linux-specific tasks.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows/PowerShell approaches are introduced together, or alternate which comes first.
- Clarify in notes or introductory sections that Azure Automation supports both Windows and Linux runbooks, and link to relevant Linux-focused documentation.
