Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and tooling references are specific to Windows (e.g., Chocolatey, PowerShell DSC, Windows Management Framework, WindowsFeature DSC resource). There are no Linux equivalents or examples provided, and Linux is only mentioned in passing (e.g., apt-get as a comparison, and a retirement announcement for Linux DSC). The step-by-step setup, code samples, and resource references are exclusively for Windows, with no guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel examples for Linux environments, such as using apt, yum, or other Linux package managers.
  • Include instructions for setting up Azure Automation State Configuration for Linux VMs, if supported.
  • Reference Linux DSC resources or alternatives, and clarify the current support status for Linux.
  • Offer sample configuration scripts for Linux nodes, using Bash or Python where appropriate.
  • Mention Linux VM extensions and how they can be used in Resource Manager templates.
  • Clearly state any limitations or retirement of Linux support, and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
