Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based examples and commands, referencing Windows-centric modules and patterns, and omitting equivalent Linux shell or tooling instructions. While it mentions Linux compatibility in passing, all practical guidance, code samples, and troubleshooting steps are PowerShell-focused, with no Bash or Linux-native alternatives. Windows-specific modules and workarounds (e.g., running powershell.exe for compatibility) are discussed, but Linux migration scenarios and tools are not covered in detail.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux shell (e.g., Bash) examples for exporting configurations and managing modules, especially for users who do not use PowerShell on Linux.
- Include instructions for using native Linux tools or commands to interact with Azure Automation and DSC, such as REST API calls via curl or az CLI.
- Highlight Linux-specific migration considerations, such as differences in module compatibility, file paths, and execution environments.
- List Linux DSC resources and modules, and provide examples of their usage and troubleshooting.
- Ensure troubleshooting sections address common Linux/macOS issues beyond filename quirks, such as permissions, environment setup, and module installation.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux documentation, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the default shell for all users.
