Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows and PowerShell. All code examples use Windows PowerShell, and Windows-specific modules and patterns (such as WindowsFeature, C:\ paths, and PowerShell cmdlets) are used exclusively. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or workflows presented, and Linux support is only mentioned in the context of retirement. The documentation assumes the reader is working in a Windows environment and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux examples for compiling DSC configurations, including workflows using Linux-compatible tools (e.g., Bash, Python, or cross-platform PowerShell Core).
- Include information about DSC resources and modules available for Linux, and how to manage them in Azure Automation.
- Present Linux-specific patterns (such as file paths, service management, and node configuration) alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, and provide guidance for Linux users where features differ or are unavailable.
- If Linux support is deprecated, provide migration guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
