Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. The workflow is centered around PowerShell DSC, with all code examples in PowerShell, and references to Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., MOF, PowerShell Gallery, Chocolatey). Linux support is explicitly noted as retired, and while a LAMP stack is configured, it is done via PowerShell DSC resources rather than native Linux tooling. There are no examples using native Linux configuration management tools or command-line patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide parity by including examples for Linux VMs using native Linux configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) or Azure's guest configuration feature for Linux.
- Offer alternative workflows for Linux users, such as using cloud-init or shell scripts for configuration.
- If PowerShell DSC is no longer supported for Linux, clearly direct Linux users to the recommended replacement (e.g., Azure Policy guest configuration) and provide a step-by-step example.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Chocolatey) as the next step for all users; suggest Linux equivalents (e.g., apt, yum, dnf) where appropriate.
- Add a section summarizing the differences in support and recommended approaches for Windows vs. Linux, with links to relevant documentation for each.
