Summary
The documentation page is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, tooling, and step-by-step instructions focus exclusively on Windows, PowerShell, and Windows-specific package managers (Chocolatey). Linux is only mentioned in passing, with no practical examples, instructions, or equivalent tooling provided. The use of PowerShell DSC and Windows Management Framework further reinforces the Windows-centric approach, and there are no references to Linux configuration management tools or package managers beyond a brief mention of apt-get.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux examples using native tools (e.g., Azure Automation DSC for Linux, or alternatives such as Ansible, Chef, or Puppet).
  • Include step-by-step instructions for setting up continuous deployment on Linux VMs, using Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.) and configuration management.
  • Offer sample configuration scripts for Linux (e.g., Bash, Python, or cross-platform PowerShell Core) in addition to Windows PowerShell.
  • Mention and link to Linux-compatible VM extensions and Azure Automation modules.
  • Clarify in the introduction whether the guide is Windows-only, or update it to be cross-platform where possible.
  • Add a section comparing Windows and Linux approaches, highlighting any differences and providing guidance for both.
