Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It focuses almost exclusively on PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), Windows PowerShell versions, and Windows-specific tools and patterns. All examples, commands, and migration steps are presented using PowerShell and Windows-centric terminology, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations. There are no examples or guidance for Linux VMs, nor any reference to Linux configuration management tools or patterns.
Recommendations
- Include explicit guidance and examples for Linux VMs, such as how to check for DSC extension presence and migrate configurations on Linux.
- Mention and provide examples for Linux configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, native DSC for Linux) where relevant.
- Clarify whether Azure machine configuration supports Linux and, if so, provide parity in instructions and migration steps.
- Add cross-platform PowerShell examples (using pwsh) and note differences between Windows PowerShell and PowerShell Core on Linux.
- Reference Linux-specific documentation and best practices for configuration management in Azure environments.
