Summary
The documentation provides parity between Linux and Windows in terms of Ansible playbook usage and example commands, but there is evidence of Windows bias in several areas. Windows-specific tools and Desired State Configuration (DSC) modules (e.g., StorageDsc, NetworkingDsc, ComputerManagementDsc, PSDesiredStateConfiguration, SecurityPolicyDsc) are explicitly listed for Windows OS configuration, while Linux equivalents (such as systemd, networkd, or other configuration management tools) are not mentioned. The Windows sections reference domain joining and Windows Firewall, but the Linux sections do not mention comparable security or identity management tasks. Additionally, the Windows examples assume use of PowerShell modules and patterns, whereas Linux examples use generic bash scripting. In some cases, Windows-specific terminology (e.g., 'failover cluster', 'Always On availability group') is used without Linux equivalents being described in detail.
Recommendations
- List Linux equivalents for Windows DSC modules (e.g., systemd, firewalld, user/group management tools) in the Linux OS configuration section.
- Provide more detail on Linux-specific configuration tasks, such as SELinux/AppArmor, firewalld/iptables, and integration with LDAP/AD if applicable.
- Ensure that security and identity management steps are described for both platforms, not just Windows (e.g., domain joining vs. LDAP/SSSD integration).
- Where Windows-specific terms are used (e.g., 'failover cluster'), provide Linux equivalents (e.g., Pacemaker, Corosync) and describe their configuration.
- Consider including troubleshooting tips or references for both platforms, not just Windows.
- Review the ordering and depth of examples to ensure Linux is not treated as secondary or less detailed than Windows.
