Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows PowerShell and Windows-specific tools and patterns throughout. PowerShell (and its Windows-centric features) is consistently presented first and in greater detail than Python or Linux options. Many examples and known issues reference Windows file paths (e.g., C:\modules), environment variables, and cmdlets, with little or no equivalent Linux guidance. Hybrid Runbook Worker support for Linux is mentioned, but practical Linux examples or troubleshooting are missing. Python runbooks receive less detailed coverage, and Linux-specific considerations are often brief or absent.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and troubleshooting steps, especially for PowerShell runbooks running on Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Include Linux file path examples (e.g., /usr/local/modules) alongside Windows paths in scripts and known issues.
- Clarify differences in behavior, limitations, and module management between Windows and Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Add parity in code samples: for every PowerShell example, provide a Python example where possible, and vice versa.
- Explicitly document any features or cmdlets that are Windows-only, and suggest Linux alternatives or workarounds.
- Expand the Python runbook section to include more detailed Linux usage scenarios and troubleshooting.
- Reorganize sections to avoid always listing Windows/PowerShell options first; consider grouping by OS or providing parallel guidance.
