Summary

The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows/PowerShell bias. All code examples and workflows are centered around PowerShell, PowerShell Workflow, and graphical runbooks that use PowerShell cmdlets. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell cmdlets, .NET types, and C# SDK examples) are used exclusively, with no equivalent Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform CLI examples. The Python section is minimal and lacks parity in detail or examples. There are no references to Linux-native tools, and PowerShell is always presented first and in the most detail.

Recommendations

Add equivalent examples for starting and managing runbooks using Azure CLI (az), which is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
Provide Bash or shell script examples for interacting with Azure Automation via REST API or Azure CLI.
Expand the Python section to include detailed parameter handling, example scripts, and parity with PowerShell examples.
Mention and demonstrate how to use Linux/macOS environments for authoring and running runbooks, including any differences or considerations.
Where PowerShell-specific types or patterns are discussed, note their Linux/Python/CLI equivalents or limitations.
Ensure that references to tools and workflows are not Windows-first; present Azure CLI or REST API approaches before or alongside PowerShell.
