Summary
The documentation page demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. The workflow and examples are centered around PowerShell and Windows-centric tooling (DSC, PowerShell Gallery, Chocolatey), even though the example configuration is for a LAMP stack (Linux). The documentation references Windows servers explicitly, uses PowerShell syntax throughout, and links to Windows-focused resources. There is no mention of Linux-native configuration tools or alternative workflows for Linux users, and the retirement of Linux DSC is noted without offering Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-native configuration examples (e.g., using Ansible, Chef, or native Azure Policy Guest Configuration for Linux).
- Include Linux command-line instructions and examples alongside PowerShell, especially for module management and configuration deployment.
- Reference Linux package managers and service management tools (apt, systemctl, etc.) where relevant.
- Offer guidance for users migrating from retired Linux DSC to supported Linux configuration management solutions.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux tools in prerequisites and next steps, including links to Linux-focused documentation.
