Summary
The documentation page for troubleshooting Azure Automation runbook issues demonstrates a strong bias towards Windows and PowerShell environments. All code examples and troubleshooting steps are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no mention or examples of Bash, Linux shell scripting, or cross-platform CLI usage. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell ISE, Windows Management Instrumentation, and Windows Installer service) are referenced, while Linux equivalents are absent. The guidance assumes familiarity with Windows-centric workflows and does not address Linux-specific troubleshooting or hybrid scenarios in detail.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent troubleshooting steps and code examples for Bash, Azure CLI, and Python runbooks, especially for common scenarios.
- Explicitly mention Linux and macOS environments where relevant, and provide guidance for running and debugging runbooks from those platforms.
- Reference cross-platform tools (such as VS Code on Linux/macOS, Azure CLI) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell ISE.
- Add troubleshooting sections for issues unique to Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers (e.g., permissions, environment setup, module installation).
- Ensure that documentation for module management, authentication, and error handling covers both Windows and Linux patterns.
- Where PowerShell cmdlets are referenced, provide Azure CLI or REST API equivalents for users who do not use PowerShell.
