Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Automation updates demonstrates a Windows and PowerShell bias. Most examples and feature announcements focus on PowerShell runbooks, with PowerShell versions and modules (e.g., AzureRM, Az) being highlighted more frequently and in greater detail than their Linux or cross-platform equivalents. Python support is mentioned, but typically as a secondary note. There is a lack of explicit Linux shell (Bash) or native Linux automation examples, and Windows/PowerShell tools and terminology are often presented first or exclusively.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit Bash or native Linux shell script examples and announcements alongside PowerShell updates.
- When announcing new features (e.g., runtime environments, CLI support), provide parity in examples and explanations for both Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Bash users.
- Highlight Linux-specific tools, modules, or best practices where relevant, not just Windows/PowerShell ones.
- Ensure that migration and retirement notices (e.g., for modules or workers) address both Windows and Linux users equally, with clear guidance for each.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and cross-platform options are not always secondary to Windows/PowerShell.
