Summary
The documentation page for managing certificates in Azure Automation is heavily PowerShell-centric, with all creation and management examples using PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tooling. PowerShell examples are presented first and in greater detail than Python, and there are no Linux-native CLI or bash examples. The certificate provider requirement ('Microsoft Enhanced RSA and AES Cryptographic Provider') is Windows-specific, and workarounds for portal limitations are PowerShell-only. This creates friction for Linux/macOS users who may prefer Azure CLI, bash, or other cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for certificate management tasks (creation, retrieval, deletion).
- Clarify whether certificate provider requirements are Windows-only and provide guidance for Linux/macOS users on generating compatible certificates.
- Include bash or shell script examples for uploading and managing certificates.
- Present Python and cross-platform examples with equal prominence to PowerShell.
- Document any limitations or differences for Linux/macOS users explicitly.
