Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. Nearly all code examples use PowerShell, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native scripting alternatives provided. Even REST API and ARM template deployment examples are wrapped in PowerShell scripts. The prerequisites and instructions frequently reference Windows tools and patterns first, and Linux equivalents are only mentioned briefly or not at all. There are no examples using Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux shell scripting, and the Python example is generic rather than tailored to Linux environments. This lack of Linux parity may hinder users who prefer or require Linux-based automation.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and Bash for all major steps, including enabling managed identity, assigning roles, and authenticating.
- Provide Linux-native scripting examples (e.g., Bash scripts using curl for REST API calls) alongside PowerShell.
- Ensure that instructions for checking Hybrid Runbook Worker versions and other operational steps are presented for both Windows and Linux, with equal detail.
- Include examples of using managed identity in Python runbooks that demonstrate Linux-specific considerations (e.g., environment variables, file paths).
- Where PowerShell is used to interact with REST APIs or ARM templates, provide parallel examples using curl, jq, or Azure CLI.
- Review the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux approaches are given equal prominence, rather than Windows-first.
