Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell workflows, referencing Windows PowerShell, DSC extension for Windows, and PowerShell cmdlets throughout. There is no mention of Linux-specific equivalents, examples, or considerations, and all migration steps and tooling are described in terms of Windows/PowerShell usage. The guidance assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and omits Linux scenarios, leading to a lack of parity for cross-platform users.
Recommendations
- Include explicit guidance and examples for Linux virtual machines, such as how to check for DSC extension presence and migrate configurations on Linux.
- Describe any differences in machine configuration behavior or supported features on Linux vs. Windows.
- Provide Linux shell (bash) or cross-platform CLI examples alongside PowerShell commands.
- Clarify whether the migration steps and tools (such as packaging, deployment, and removal) are applicable to Linux, and if not, offer Linux-specific alternatives.
- Reference Linux documentation and tools where relevant, such as Azure CLI or native Linux configuration management approaches.
