Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by focusing on PowerShell-based Desired State Configuration (DSC), referencing Windows-centric tools (such as Chocolatey), and providing examples and instructions primarily in PowerShell. Although the example configures a LAMP stack (Linux), the workflow, tooling, and references are all Windows/PowerShell-centric, and there is no mention of Linux-native configuration tools or workflows. The retirement notice for Linux DSC is prominent, and no alternatives or parity guidance for Linux users are provided.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-native configuration management examples (e.g., using Ansible, Chef, or native Azure Policy Guest Configuration for Linux).
- Include instructions and examples for configuring Linux VMs using non-PowerShell tools.
- Mention and link to Linux-specific documentation and alternatives where DSC for Linux is deprecated.
- Avoid referencing Windows tools (like Chocolatey) as the next step for Linux scenarios, or provide Linux package management alternatives.
- Clarify the limitations and retirement of Linux DSC, and guide users to supported Linux configuration management options.
