Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) is emphasized as the primary validation tool for both Windows and Linux, with Chef InSpec only mentioned for Linux. The open-source 'nxtools' module is highlighted for Linux management but is PowerShell-centric. Troubleshooting and log collection instructions are provided for both platforms, but Windows PowerShell examples are more detailed and appear first. References to Azure PowerShell and Windows tools are frequent, and links for managed identity configuration point to Windows VM guides before Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide equal emphasis and examples for native Linux configuration tools (e.g., Ansible, native shell scripts) alongside PowerShell DSC.
- Include Linux-first instructions and examples where appropriate, especially in troubleshooting and log collection sections.
- Highlight Chef InSpec and other Linux-native validation tools with usage examples, not just mention them.
- Add links and references to Linux VM guides and Azure CLI usage before or alongside Windows/PowerShell equivalents.
- Clarify that PowerShell DSC is optional for Linux, and mention alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Expand the 'nxtools' section to clarify its PowerShell focus and suggest alternatives for users who prefer native Linux tooling.
