Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions use PowerShell, reference Windows-style paths (e.g., D:\examplefiles), and mention only Windows tools and conventions. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers, nor are Linux shell commands or file path formats provided. The documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent examples for Linux-based Hybrid Runbook Workers, including bash shell commands for file creation and Linux file path formats (e.g., /home/examplefiles).
- Mention that Azure Automation Hybrid Runbook Workers can run on Linux, and provide any relevant prerequisites or differences.
- Include sample runbooks or scripts that work on Linux, or explain how to adapt the provided PowerShell scripts for Linux environments (e.g., using PowerShell Core on Linux or bash scripts).
- Clarify in the prerequisites and steps where instructions diverge for Windows vs. Linux, and offer both sets of instructions side by side.
- Avoid assuming the use of Windows tools (like PowerShell) exclusively; reference cross-platform tools or provide alternatives.
