Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All code examples use PowerShell and target Windows Server VMs, with explicit references to Windows features (e.g., IIS installation). Prerequisites and instructions focus exclusively on Windows environments, and there are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or configuration patterns. While Linux support is mentioned in passing, it is not demonstrated or explained. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, WindowsFeature resource) are used exclusively throughout.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples for Linux machines, such as configuring Apache or Nginx using DSC resources for Linux.
- Include instructions for onboarding and managing Linux VMs, with relevant DSC configuration samples.
- Provide Bash/CLI examples where possible, or reference cross-platform tools.
- Clarify the current support status for Linux in Azure Automation State Configuration, especially in light of the retirement announcement.
- Ensure documentation sections for prerequisites, onboarding, and configuration are platform-neutral or have parallel guidance for Linux.
