Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, primarily focusing on PowerShell-based runbooks and Windows-centric tooling. All code examples use PowerShell syntax, and references to output/message streams, preference variables, and retrieval of job output are exclusively described in terms of Windows PowerShell cmdlets and patterns. There is no mention of Linux shell scripting, Bash, or cross-platform alternatives, nor are there examples or guidance for non-Windows environments. The documentation also refers to Windows PowerShell features and variables before any mention of Python runbooks, which are only briefly referenced in a note.
Recommendations
  • Include equivalent examples for Bash or Python runbooks, especially for output and error handling.
  • Describe how output and message streams work in non-PowerShell (e.g., Python) runbooks, including any differences in logging or retrieval.
  • Add instructions and examples for retrieving runbook output and messages using Azure CLI or REST API, which are platform-agnostic.
  • Clarify which features or cmdlets are Windows-specific and provide alternatives or limitations for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Reference Linux tools and scripting patterns where applicable, and ensure parity in documentation structure and example order.
