Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All code examples and runbook references use PowerShell syntax and cmdlets, with no mention or examples of Bash, Python, or Linux shell scripting. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., WMI, .exe files, C:\temp, UAC, .NET Framework) are referenced exclusively or before any Linux equivalents. There is little to no guidance for Linux users or those wishing to use non-PowerShell runbooks, and Linux-specific considerations are only briefly mentioned in the context of security constraints.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples for Bash and Python runbooks, including error handling and resource management.
  • Include Linux-specific patterns and tools (e.g., using /tmp for temporary storage, systemd for process management, Linux authentication methods).
  • Mention Linux Hybrid Runbook Worker scenarios and provide guidance for installing and managing modules on Linux hosts.
  • Balance references to Windows tools (WMI, .NET, UAC) with Linux alternatives (e.g., psutil, system calls, sudo).
  • Provide links to documentation for Linux runbook types and modules, and clarify OS-specific limitations and best practices.
  • Ensure that introductory and summary sections mention Linux support and provide parity in recommendations.
