Summary
The documentation page exclusively covers Windows operating systems and Windows-specific tooling (such as Windows Management Framework and PowerShell DSC), with no mention of Linux support, Linux distributions, or equivalent Linux tooling. All examples, OS support lists, and troubleshooting steps are Windows-centric. There are no Linux examples, and the only reference to Linux is in a retirement announcement include, with no further details or parity information.
Recommendations
- Explicitly document the status of Linux support for the Azure DSC extension, including which versions (if any) supported Linux and when support was retired.
- If Linux support was present in previous versions, add a dedicated section summarizing Linux support history, including supported distributions, extension versions, and any differences in feature sets.
- Provide equivalent Linux examples or troubleshooting steps where applicable, or clearly state when features are Windows-only.
- Reference Linux configuration management alternatives (such as Chef, Puppet, or Ansible) for Azure VMs, and link to relevant Azure documentation for those tools.
- Clarify in the introduction and version tables that the documented extension versions are Windows-only, and direct Linux users to appropriate resources or migration guides.
