Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, with all examples, tooling, and instructions centered around Windows Server, PowerShell DSC, and Chocolatey. Linux equivalents (such as apt-get) are mentioned only in passing, and there are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or tooling references. The documentation assumes the use of Windows VMs and does not provide guidance for Linux-based automation or package management.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples for Linux environments, using native Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum) and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or native Linux DSC).
- Include instructions for setting up Azure Automation State Configuration for Linux VMs, if supported, or provide alternatives for Linux automation.
- Reference Linux VM extensions and how to use them for configuration management in Azure Resource Manager templates.
- Provide sample configuration scripts for Linux nodes, using Bash or Python, alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clarify in the introduction whether the guidance is Windows-only, and if so, link to Linux-specific documentation or note the retirement status of Linux DSC in Azure Automation.
