Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell cmdlets as the default automation interface, omitting Linux/Unix shell or CLI examples, and not mentioning Linux-native tools or patterns. The language and examples assume a Windows-centric environment, with no guidance for users operating from Linux systems or using Bash/CLI tools. This may hinder Linux users from effectively leveraging Azure Automation.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell cmdlets for authentication and automation tasks.
- Explicitly mention that Azure Automation supports both Windows and Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, and provide examples for each.
- Reference Linux-native tools and authentication patterns (such as using managed identities with Bash scripts or Python on Linux).
- Clarify that runbooks can be authored in multiple languages (PowerShell, Python, etc.) and provide cross-platform code samples.
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, outlining any differences or additional steps required for authentication and automation from Linux environments.
