Summary
The documentation page for troubleshooting Azure Automation runbook issues exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All code examples and troubleshooting steps are provided exclusively in PowerShell, with no equivalent examples for Bash, Python, or Linux shell environments. Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as PowerShell ISE, Windows Management Instrumentation, and Windows Installer) are referenced without mention of Linux alternatives. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell workflows and does not address Linux-specific troubleshooting scenarios or provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent troubleshooting examples for Bash, Python, and Linux shell environments where applicable.
- Include guidance for Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers, such as troubleshooting with systemd, journalctl, or Linux authentication mechanisms.
- Reference cross-platform tools and editors (e.g., VS Code on Linux, nano, vim) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell ISE.
- Clarify which troubleshooting steps are platform-agnostic and which are Windows-specific; provide Linux-specific alternatives where needed.
- Mention and provide examples for using Azure CLI in addition to PowerShell, especially for authentication, module management, and runbook execution.
- Include notes or sections on common Linux errors, permissions, and environment issues encountered in Azure Automation.
