Bias Analysis

Bias Types:
⚠️ powershell_heavy
⚠️ windows_first
⚠️ missing_linux_example
⚠️ windows_tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows and PowerShell, with all examples, tools, and migration steps based on Windows technologies. There are no Linux or cross-platform examples, and the use of Windows PowerShell cmdlets and modules is assumed throughout. The documentation does not mention or provide alternatives for Linux users, nor does it discuss how to migrate or run runbooks in Linux environments.
Recommendations:
  • Include examples and guidance for migrating runbooks that use Python or Bash scripts, which are supported in Azure Automation and are common in Linux environments.
  • Document how to use Azure Automation on Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, including any prerequisites, limitations, or differences from Windows workers.
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Bash or Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell examples.
  • Clarify which features or modules are Windows-specific and which are cross-platform, and suggest alternatives for Linux users where possible.
  • Mention and link to documentation on authoring and running runbooks in non-Windows environments.
  • Highlight any differences in asset or variable management for Linux-based runbooks.
