+### Public Preview: Azure Automation Runtime environment & support for Azure CLI commands in runbooks
+
+Azure Automation introduces [Runtime environment](runtime-environment-overview.md) (preview) that provides a simple and hassle-free experience for [updating scripts](quickstart-update-runbook-in-runtime-environment.md) to the latest language versions. It also provides complete control to configure the script execution environment, without worrying about conflicting module versions in a single Automation account. All existing runbooks are automatically available in the new Runtime environment experience with zero manual effort. You can navigate seamlessly between the old and new experience with a single click. [Learn more](manage-runtime-environment.md).

+Additionally, this feature enables support for [Azure CLI commands](quickstart-cli-support-powershell-runbook-runtime-environment.md) (preview) in PowerShell 7.2 runbooks. Now reap combined benefits of the rich command set of Azure CLI in Azure Automation runbooks to streamline management of Azure resources.
