Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All configuration examples use Windows PowerShell DSC syntax and resources (e.g., WindowsFeature), with no Linux equivalents or cross-platform examples. The prerequisites and instructions focus on Windows VMs, and links reference Windows-specific guides. Linux support is only mentioned in passing or in retirement notices, with no practical guidance or examples for Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux DSC configuration examples, such as using nxFile or nxPackage resources.
- Include step-by-step instructions for onboarding and managing Linux VMs with Azure Automation State Configuration.
- Reference Linux-specific documentation and tools alongside Windows ones, not just in retirement announcements.
- Clarify current Linux support status and provide migration or alternative guidance for Linux users.
- Ensure all PowerShell examples are accompanied by notes or examples for Linux-compatible DSC resources and workflows.
