Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias, primarily through exclusive use of PowerShell-based examples and tooling, with all code samples and module management instructions centered around PowerShell and Azure PowerShell modules. Windows-specific patterns (such as MOF compilation and module compatibility workarounds) are discussed in detail, while Linux equivalents are either omitted or mentioned only in passing. Troubleshooting and export instructions for Linux/macOS are minimal and relegated to a workaround, rather than being integrated into the main workflow.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/bash examples for exporting configurations and managing modules, using native Linux tools where possible.
- Include instructions for using cross-platform PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux, and clarify any differences in behavior or compatibility.
- Discuss Linux-specific DSC resources and modules, with examples of how to migrate and test them.
- Address common Linux migration issues (such as file permissions, path formats, and module compatibility) in dedicated troubleshooting sections.
- Ensure that all steps and workflows are presented in a cross-platform manner, with clear notes on OS-specific differences.
- Highlight Linux onboarding and management scenarios (e.g., onboarding Linux hybrid machines to Azure Arc) with step-by-step guidance.
