Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments and PowerShell usage. All examples use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WindowsFeature), and the tutorial is centered on configuring IIS on Windows Server. Prerequisites and instructions reference only Windows VMs and PowerShell DSC, with no Linux configuration examples or parity in onboarding, configuration, or compliance checking. Linux support is only mentioned in passing, and a retirement announcement for Linux DSC is included, further reducing Linux relevance.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux onboarding and configuration examples using supported tools (e.g., DSC for Linux, or alternatives if DSC is deprecated).
  • Include sample configurations for common Linux workloads (e.g., installing Apache or Nginx) alongside the IIS/Windows example.
  • Provide guidance for managing Linux VMs with Azure Automation State Configuration, or clearly state limitations and alternatives if Linux support is deprecated.
  • Reference Linux documentation and tooling where appropriate, and avoid presenting Windows as the default or only supported platform.
  • If Linux support is deprecated, offer migration paths or alternative solutions for Linux users.
