Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples use Windows PowerShell DSC syntax and resources (e.g., WindowsFeature), with no Linux equivalents or cross-platform DSC resources shown. The VM creation instructions and links are exclusively for Windows VMs, and references to DSC documentation and tools are Windows-centric. Linux support is only mentioned in retirement notices, and there are no practical Linux onboarding, configuration, or resource examples.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux DSC configuration examples, such as using nxFile or nxPackage resources.
- Include instructions and links for creating and onboarding Linux VMs to Azure Automation State Configuration.
- Reference cross-platform DSC documentation and resources, not just Windows PowerShell DSC.
- Clarify current support status and alternatives for Linux users, especially given the retirement notice.
- Present examples and instructions for both Windows and Linux in parallel, or clearly indicate platform-specific sections.
- Provide guidance for managing Linux nodes, including configuration, compilation, and reporting steps.
