Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows instructions and examples are consistently presented before Linux equivalents, and PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool) is used exclusively in all code samples for runbook authentication, management, and execution. Windows-specific tools and paths (e.g., Control Panel, cert store locations, Windows file paths) are referenced in detail, while Linux instructions are often less detailed or missing (e.g., no Linux example for starting a runbook via CLI, no Linux-specific credential asset support). Some advanced features (like Hybrid Worker Credentials) are not supported on Linux, and this is noted but not compensated for with Linux alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux examples alongside Windows examples for all key scenarios, especially for starting runbooks, configuring environment variables, and authentication.
- Include Bash or Python code samples for Linux where PowerShell is used for Windows.
- Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel sections or tabs, rather than always listing Windows first.
- Where features are unsupported on Linux (e.g., Hybrid Worker Credentials), suggest alternative Linux-native approaches or workarounds.
- Reference Linux tools and paths with the same level of detail as Windows (e.g., environment variable setup, log locations, certificate/key management).
- Add explicit Linux CLI examples for tasks like starting a runbook, managing credentials, and configuring permissions.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and logging guidance for both platforms.
