Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automation runbook execution is heavily focused on PowerShell, which is primarily associated with Windows environments. Most examples, explanations, and referenced modules are PowerShell-centric, with no mention of Bash, Python, or Linux-native scripting approaches. Windows-specific tools (e.g., WinSCP.exe, IIS) are referenced without Linux equivalents, and file paths use Windows conventions (C:\temp). There is no guidance or examples for Linux/macOS users, nor are Linux-specific scenarios (such as using Bash scripts or Linux file paths) addressed.
Recommendations
- Add examples and guidance for Python runbooks, which are supported in Azure Automation and commonly used on Linux/macOS.
- Include Linux/macOS file path conventions (e.g., /tmp) alongside Windows paths when discussing temporary storage.
- Reference Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., scp or sftp for WinSCP, Apache/nginx for IIS) in module requirements.
- Provide Bash or shell script runbook examples where appropriate.
- Clarify which features and modules are available or limited on Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
- Reorder examples and references so that Linux/macOS scenarios are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones, where possible.
