Summary

The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell and Windows-centric workflows. All examples and references are to PowerShell modules, cmdlets, and the PowerShell Gallery, with no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform scripting approaches. Specific runbooks reference Windows Azure VMs without Linux alternatives. There is minimal coverage of Python runbooks, and no guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to use or contribute runbooks/modules.

Recommendations

Add explicit guidance and examples for Linux/macOS users, including how to use Python runbooks and modules.
Include examples of importing and running runbooks/modules on Linux-based Azure VMs.
Highlight cross-platform tools and scripting approaches, such as Bash or Python, alongside PowerShell.
When listing runbooks, ensure parity by including Linux-focused scenarios (e.g., copying files to/from Linux VMs).
Clarify which features and modules are supported on PowerShell Core (cross-platform) vs. Windows PowerShell.
Provide instructions for validating and running runbooks on Linux/macOS environments.
