Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. PowerShell is presented as the primary scripting interface, with cmdlets and examples focused exclusively on Windows PowerShell and Az modules. Windows terminology (e.g., 'Windows Hybrid Runbook Worker') is used throughout, and there are no Bash, CLI, or Linux-native examples or references. The documentation does not mention or provide parity for Linux shell scripting, nor does it discuss how to manage variables from Linux environments or with cross-platform tools. Python examples are included, but only in the context of Azure Automation runbooks, not general Linux usage.
Recommendations
- Add Azure CLI examples for variable management, showing equivalent operations to PowerShell cmdlets.
- Include Bash shell scripting examples for accessing and managing variables, especially for Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Clarify cross-platform compatibility of cmdlets and tools, and explicitly mention Linux support where applicable.
- Reorder sections so that platform-neutral or cross-platform approaches (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) are presented before Windows-specific tools.
- Add notes or guidance for Linux users, including any prerequisites or differences in workflow.
- Avoid using 'Windows PowerShell' as the default term; use 'PowerShell' or specify when instructions are platform-specific.
