Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively using Windows PowerShell cmdlets and scripting patterns throughout. All code examples are in PowerShell, with no mention or examples for Linux-native tools, Bash, or Python (except a brief note about Python runbooks). Windows PowerShell concepts, variables, and cmdlets are referenced as the default or only approach, and retrieval of runbook output is described solely via Windows PowerShell tools. There is no guidance for Linux users or parity in examples for non-Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent examples using Bash, Azure CLI, or Python where applicable, especially for retrieving runbook output and handling streams.
- Explicitly mention support and usage patterns for Linux Hybrid Workers and cross-platform scenarios.
- Provide guidance and examples for authoring and managing runbooks in Linux environments, including differences in stream handling and output retrieval.
- Reference Azure CLI commands and REST API methods alongside PowerShell cmdlets for managing runbooks and retrieving output.
- Clarify which features and cmdlets are Windows-specific and which are available cross-platform, and link to Linux-focused documentation where possible.
