Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation 'What's New' shows a notable bias towards Windows and PowerShell. Most examples and feature announcements focus on PowerShell runbooks, with frequent mention of specific PowerShell versions and modules (e.g., AzureRM, Az). Windows terminology and tools are referenced more often and earlier than Linux equivalents. While Linux is sometimes mentioned (e.g., Hybrid Runbook Worker for Windows and Linux), there are few explicit Linux-focused examples, and Python support is discussed less frequently and with less detail. There are no clear Linux-specific usage patterns, troubleshooting, or examples provided.
Recommendations
  • Include Linux-specific examples and usage scenarios, especially for Python runbooks and shell scripting.
  • Ensure parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux, such as migration guides, troubleshooting, and feature announcements.
  • Present examples for both PowerShell and Bash (or other Linux shells) where applicable.
  • Avoid listing Windows/PowerShell features first; alternate or group by OS where possible.
  • Highlight Linux-specific tools, modules, and best practices for Azure Automation.
