Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias, primarily through its exclusive focus on PowerShell runbooks, Windows-centric tools (e.g., WMI, WinSCP, IIS), and examples written only in PowerShell. There is little to no mention of Linux equivalents, Bash, Python, or cross-platform scripting approaches. Windows-specific patterns and tools are referenced before or instead of Linux alternatives, and no Linux-specific examples or guidance are provided.
Recommendations
- Include examples for Bash and Python runbooks, especially in sections demonstrating error handling, process execution, and resource management.
- Add references to Linux tools and patterns (e.g., using SSH, cron, systemd, Linux file paths) alongside Windows tools like WMI and WinSCP.
- Provide parity in documentation for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, including guidance on installing modules, handling elevation, and managing temporary storage.
- Explicitly mention and link to documentation for Linux runbook types and modules, and clarify any differences in execution environments and limitations.
- Balance the presentation order so that Linux and cross-platform scenarios are described alongside or before Windows-specific ones.
- Add troubleshooting and security guidance relevant to Linux environments, such as SELinux, sudo, and Linux authentication mechanisms.
