Summary
The documentation page exhibits a notable Windows bias by focusing almost exclusively on PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric patterns for credential management in Azure Automation. All CLI examples are in PowerShell, with no Bash, Azure CLI, or Linux-native alternatives. The creation of credentials is described only via the Azure portal or Windows PowerShell, and all code snippets for credential management use PowerShell constructs. There is no mention of Linux shell equivalents, nor are there instructions for managing credentials from non-Windows environments outside of Python runbooks.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for credential management tasks (create, retrieve, delete credentials) that work cross-platform.
- Include Bash or shell script examples for Linux/macOS users where applicable.
- Clarify which PowerShell cmdlets are available in PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS, and provide installation guidance if needed.
- Reorder sections so that cross-platform methods (Azure portal, Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before or alongside Windows PowerShell examples.
- Explicitly state Linux/macOS compatibility for all procedures, or provide alternative instructions where Windows-only tools are referenced.
