Summary
The documentation page for managing runbooks in Azure Automation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples use PowerShell, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native scripting shown. File paths and script references (e.g., C:\Runbooks\Sample_TestRunbook.ps1) are Windows-centric. The use of PowerShell cmdlets is pervasive, and there is no mention of Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux shell alternatives for any operation. Windows/PowerShell patterns and tools are presented exclusively and before any mention of Python (which is only referenced for package management, not for runbook management or automation tasks). There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or troubleshooting notes.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Azure CLI and Bash examples for all major operations (create, import, publish, schedule, retrieve job status, restore deleted runbook, etc.).
- Show file path examples using Linux conventions (e.g., /home/user/runbooks/Sample_TestRunbook.py) alongside Windows paths.
- Include instructions for managing Python runbooks beyond package management, such as creating, importing, and publishing Python runbooks using CLI or REST API.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and note any differences or limitations for Linux users.
- Provide troubleshooting guidance for Linux environments, including common issues with Hybrid Runbook Worker on Linux.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., cron for scheduling, shell scripting for automation) where appropriate.
