Summary
The documentation page is heavily oriented towards Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and references using PowerShell DSC concepts, cmdlets, and Windows-centric tools (e.g., PSExecutionPolicy, Chocolatey). There is no mention of Linux-specific DSC resources, nor are there examples or guidance for Linux nodes. The retirement announcement for Linux DSC is included, but the documentation does not provide alternatives or parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and workflows for Linux nodes, including how to compose configurations for Linux DSC resources (if still supported elsewhere).
  • Include references to Linux equivalents for tools and patterns (e.g., alternatives to Chocolatey, Linux credential management).
  • If Linux DSC is deprecated, provide guidance or migration paths for Linux users, and clearly indicate Windows-only applicability in the documentation.
  • Balance PowerShell examples with cross-platform scripting or configuration approaches where possible.
  • Explicitly state platform limitations and provide links to Linux configuration management alternatives (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) for Azure Automation users.
