Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on PowerShell-based troubleshooting and examples, which are most relevant to Windows environments. All code samples and troubleshooting steps use PowerShell cmdlets, with no Bash, CLI, or Linux/macOS-specific examples. Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell ISE, Windows Management Instrumentation, Windows Installer service) are referenced, and troubleshooting steps assume familiarity with Windows/PowerShell workflows. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or cross-platform usage, even though Azure Automation supports Python runbooks and Hybrid Runbook Workers can run on Linux.
Recommendations
- Add troubleshooting examples for Python runbooks, including common errors and diagnostic steps for Python on Linux/macOS.
- Include Azure CLI or Bash examples alongside PowerShell, especially for tasks like authentication, module management, and job monitoring.
- Clarify which troubleshooting steps apply to Linux/macOS Hybrid Runbook Workers and provide platform-specific guidance where necessary.
- Reference cross-platform editors (e.g., VS Code) and avoid exclusive mention of Windows tools like PowerShell ISE.
- Explicitly state platform requirements and limitations for each scenario (e.g., which errors are Windows-specific, which apply to Linux/macOS).
