Summary
The documentation page for managing runbooks in Azure Automation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All code examples use PowerShell, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native scripting shown. Windows file paths (e.g., C:\Runbooks\...) are used in examples, and all automation tooling references are to PowerShell cmdlets. There is no mention of Linux shell equivalents, nor are Linux-specific patterns or tools discussed. The documentation assumes familiarity with Windows/PowerShell environments and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell for all major operations (create, import, publish, retrieve job status, etc.).
- Include Linux file path examples (e.g., /home/user/runbooks/Sample_TestRunbook.py) where file selection/import is discussed.
- Mention and demonstrate how to use Python runbooks and Linux shell scripts in Azure Automation, including any limitations or differences.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (such as cron for scheduling, shell scripting for error handling) where relevant.
- Clarify cross-platform support for Hybrid Runbook Worker and provide Linux-specific setup and usage instructions.
- Ensure that introductory and summary sections do not assume PowerShell as the default, but present both Windows and Linux options equally.
