Summary
The documentation exclusively uses PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling (such as PowerShell ISE and the AWSPowerShell module) for all examples and instructions. There are no references to Linux-native tools, Bash scripting, or cross-platform alternatives such as AWS CLI or Python. The workflow assumes a Windows environment and does not provide parity for Linux users, omitting any Linux shell or cross-platform scripting guidance.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using AWS CLI commands in Bash scripts, which can be run on Linux or macOS Automation Hybrid Workers.
  • Include instructions for importing and using the AWS Tools for PowerShell Core, which is cross-platform, or clarify if only Windows PowerShell is supported.
  • Add a section or callout for Linux/macOS users, describing how to author and execute runbooks using Python or Bash, and how to install necessary modules or packages.
  • Mention and demonstrate the use of cross-platform editors (such as VS Code) instead of PowerShell ISE, which is Windows-only.
  • Clarify any platform limitations in prerequisites, and provide links to Azure Automation documentation for Linux Hybrid Workers.
