Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell cmdlets and Windows tooling for managing credentials in Azure Automation. All CLI examples are PowerShell-based, and references to creating credentials outside the portal are exclusively via Windows PowerShell. The documentation does mention Python runbooks, but there are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS shell environments or cross-platform CLI tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash). Windows/PowerShell tools are presented first and in greater detail.
Recommendations
- Add examples for creating and managing credential assets using Azure CLI, which is cross-platform and works on Linux/macOS.
- Clarify which steps or cmdlets are PowerShell-specific and provide alternative instructions for Linux/macOS users where possible.
- Include Bash or shell scripting examples for credential retrieval and usage, if supported.
- Explicitly state platform requirements for PowerShell-based steps, and link to cross-platform alternatives.
- Ensure parity in example detail and guidance for Python runbooks and other supported languages.
