Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented towards Windows, with PowerShell-based examples and references to Windows-centric tooling and workflows. Although a Linux scenario (LAMP stack) is mentioned, the underlying DSC platform for Linux is retired, and the instructions and examples remain PowerShell-centric. There is minimal guidance for Linux users, and the workflow assumes familiarity with Windows and PowerShell environments.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that Azure Automation DSC for Linux is retired and provide alternative solutions for Linux configuration management (e.g., Azure Policy Guest Configuration, Ansible, Chef, Puppet).
- Remove or de-emphasize Linux scenarios (like LAMP stack) from the quickstart if they are no longer supported, or provide explicit migration paths.
- If Linux support is still relevant, include bash or shell script examples, and reference Linux-native tools and workflows.
- Provide parity in documentation structure: if Windows instructions are given, ensure Linux/macOS equivalents are present and easy to follow.
- Update links and references to point to current Linux management options in Azure.
