Many users have looked at Azure Automation as almost isolated Azure service and wanted better integration with OMS. They wanted Automation runbooks to become a part of OMS solutions, and better logging withing Log Analytics for Automation tasks. The days of waiting are over. We can know get OMS solutions created by Microsoft based on Automation runbooks and DSC configurations (or we can create our own, custom solutions). With announced support for Bash and Python runbooks, it's very clear that the position of Azure Automation has changed and it's now a foundational capability required to deliver end to end management across hybrid clouds running Windows Server and Linux.
