Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. PowerShell (including Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Workflow) is presented first and in much greater detail than Python or Linux-specific options. Many examples, sample scripts, and troubleshooting steps reference Windows file paths (e.g., C:\modules), Windows environment variables, and Windows-specific behaviors. There is little to no coverage of Linux-specific runbook authoring, execution, or troubleshooting, and no Linux shell (bash) examples are provided. Even where Linux is mentioned (e.g., Hybrid Runbook Workers), details are minimal compared to the extensive PowerShell/Windows coverage.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples and troubleshooting steps, especially for Hybrid Runbook Workers running on Linux.
- Provide parity in sample scripts, such as showing how to manage modules, file paths, and environment variables on Linux (e.g., using /opt, $HOME, or /tmp instead of C:\ paths).
- Include bash or Python shell examples where appropriate, not just PowerShell.
- Clarify which features and limitations apply to Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers, and document any Linux-specific constraints or workarounds.
- Reorder or balance the presentation so that Python and Linux options are not always secondary to Windows/PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention Linux support (or lack thereof) in each runbook type's description and limitations.
