Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias, with nearly all examples, code snippets, and tool references centered on PowerShell and Windows-centric workflows. PowerShell is presented as the primary runbook language, with detailed parameter configuration and invocation examples. There are no equivalent Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform CLI examples for starting runbooks or passing parameters. Even SDK and REST API sections use Windows/PowerShell patterns, and the JSON passing section is exclusively PowerShell-focused. Linux/macOS users are left without guidance for their native environments.
Recommendations
- Add examples for starting runbooks and passing parameters using Azure CLI (az automation runbook ...), which is cross-platform.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for invoking REST API endpoints to start runbooks and pass parameters.
- Clarify which steps and tools are cross-platform, and explicitly mention Linux/macOS compatibility where applicable.
- Provide parity in parameter configuration examples for Python runbooks, including how to invoke them from Linux/macOS.
- Reference Linux-native tools (curl, jq, etc.) for interacting with Azure Automation where appropriate.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform methods (REST API, Azure CLI) are presented before or alongside Windows/PowerShell methods.
