Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically using PowerShell DSC and Chocolatey, with all examples and instructions tailored to Windows VMs. Linux is mentioned only in passing, and there are no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux systems, package managers, or automation tools. The retirement of Linux DSC is noted, but no alternative Linux workflow is provided.
Recommendations
- Add a section explaining how to achieve similar continuous deployment workflows on Linux VMs, possibly using native Linux configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and package managers (e.g., apt, yum).
- Provide parallel examples for Linux, including Resource Manager template modifications, onboarding, and package installation steps.
- Clarify the current support status for Linux in Azure Automation State Configuration and suggest alternatives for Linux users.
- Reference Linux-compatible VM extensions and automation modules where appropriate.
- If Linux DSC is deprecated, link to migration guides or recommended replacement solutions for Linux automation.
