Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell is the only scripting example provided for querying Hybrid Runbook Workers, with no equivalent Bash or Linux CLI example. When describing agent-based user Hybrid Runbook Worker deployment, Windows is mentioned before Linux, and the PowerShell-centric workflow is emphasized. References to system accounts and permissions also list Windows first, and the use of Windows-specific tools (PowerShell) is assumed for management tasks. Linux support is acknowledged, but practical examples and tool parity are lacking.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash or Azure CLI examples for Linux users wherever PowerShell scripts are shown.
  • When listing instructions or links for both Windows and Linux, alternate the order or present them together to avoid a 'Windows first' impression.
  • Include Linux-specific management guidance, such as using shell scripts or Linux-native tools, for querying and managing Hybrid Runbook Workers.
  • Clarify that both Windows and Linux are fully supported, and ensure all operational examples (scripts, permissions, troubleshooting) have Linux counterparts.
  • Highlight any differences or similarities in user accounts (e.g., System vs nxautomation) more equally, and provide explicit Linux instructions where relevant.
