Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All configuration examples use Windows PowerShell syntax and Windows-specific DSC resources (e.g., WindowsFeature). The only VM creation instructions link to Windows VM guides, and there are no Linux configuration examples or references to Linux DSC resources. The documentation repeatedly refers to Windows PowerShell DSC and Windows tools, with no parity for Linux users. Although Linux support is mentioned as retired, the documentation does not provide historical Linux examples or guidance for users migrating from Linux.
Recommendations
- Add historical Linux DSC configuration examples to illustrate how Linux nodes were managed prior to retirement.
- Clearly indicate the current support status for Linux, and provide migration guidance for users previously using Linux DSC.
- Include references to Linux DSC resources and tools, even if only for archival or migration purposes.
- Balance the documentation by mentioning Linux equivalents where relevant, such as Linux VM creation guides, and explicitly state the lack of support if applicable.
- Provide links to community or alternative solutions for Linux configuration management in Azure.
