Runbooks in Azure Automation might not have access to resources in other clouds or in your on-premises environment because they run on the Azure cloud platform. You can use the Hybrid Runbook Worker feature of Azure Automation to run runbooks directly on the computer that’s hosting the role and against resources in the environment to manage those local resources.
My Start with hybrid workers moving payloads that run locally on-prem to this hybrid model was very fun!
You can start your journey here

After you have setup your hybrid Worker you can start playing with the automations. I have daily reports running on my PDC today and i would like to move some of those tasks to a more sofisticated environment , i decided to move to Runbooks, so far i am very happy with the end results and i encourage you to start checking on that and the might possible use cases for you.
Below you can see some of the Runbooks already in Production.
