Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows and PowerShell bias. All error handling concepts and examples are presented exclusively in terms of PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric tools (e.g., Write-Warning, Start-AzVM, Get-AutomationVariable). There is no mention of Linux runbooks, Bash, or cross-platform scripting. The terminology and examples assume the user is working in a Windows/PowerShell environment, with no Linux or cross-platform parity.
Recommendations:
- Include examples and explanations for error handling in Linux-based runbooks, such as using Bash or Python activities.
- Mention and demonstrate how error handling works in graphical runbooks that target Linux hybrid workers or use cross-platform scripting languages.
- Provide equivalent Linux tool or command examples (e.g., using shell scripts or Python for error handling and notifications).
- Clarify in the introduction that the guidance is PowerShell-specific, or restructure the documentation to present both Windows/PowerShell and Linux/Bash/Python approaches side by side.
- Reference Azure Automation support for Linux hybrid workers and how error handling differs or is implemented in those scenarios.
