Summary:
The documentation page focuses exclusively on using the Azure portal UI to create an Automation account and does not provide any command-line examples. The only 'Next steps' link is to a PowerShell runbook tutorial, which is Windows-centric. There are no references to Linux tools, Bash, or cross-platform scripting, and no mention of Linux or macOS workflows. This creates a subtle Windows bias by implying PowerShell is the default or only automation method, and by omitting Linux alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Include links to both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI tutorials for next steps, ensuring parity for Linux users.
- Mention that Automation runbooks can be authored in multiple languages (PowerShell, Python, etc.), and provide links to Linux-friendly examples.
- Add a 'Next steps' section with links to creating Python runbooks or using the Azure CLI to manage Automation accounts.
- Explicitly state that the Azure portal is cross-platform and accessible from any OS, and provide guidance for users who prefer command-line tools on Linux/macOS.
- Balance references to PowerShell with equivalent Linux-native tools or scripts where possible.
