Summary
The documentation page for managing credentials in Azure Automation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling. All CLI examples are provided in PowerShell, with explicit references to Windows PowerShell and PSCredential objects. There is no mention of Linux shell (bash, sh) equivalents, nor are there examples for managing credentials via Azure CLI or REST API. The Python section is present, but only for runbook usage, not for asset management. The ordering also places Windows/PowerShell methods before Python, and there is no guidance for Linux/macOS users who may wish to manage credentials outside the portal or Python runbooks.
Recommendations
- Add examples for managing credentials using Azure CLI and/or REST API, which are cross-platform.
- Clarify that PowerShell examples can be run using PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, if applicable.
- Provide guidance or links for Linux/macOS users who wish to automate credential management outside of PowerShell.
- Reorder sections so that portal and cross-platform methods are presented before Windows/PowerShell-specific methods.
- Explicitly state platform requirements for PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Windows PowerShell vs PowerShell Core).
