Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell 5.1, with all examples and instructions centered around PowerShell workflows and tooling. There is no mention of Linux-specific equivalents, nor are there examples or guidance for Linux environments, despite Azure Automation DSC supporting Linux nodes. Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively, and Linux is only mentioned in passing as a target for onboarding, not as a platform for authoring or managing configurations.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and instructions for authoring and managing DSC configurations for Linux nodes, including any platform-specific considerations.
  • Include references to cross-platform PowerShell (PowerShell Core) and clarify compatibility for Linux/macOS environments.
  • Provide Linux shell (bash) equivalents where possible, or note when only PowerShell is supported.
  • Mention and link to Linux DSC resources, modules, and documentation, and clarify any differences in workflow or tooling.
  • Ensure that onboarding and usage steps for Linux nodes are given equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions.
