Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically using PowerShell DSC and Chocolatey, with all examples, tooling, and walkthroughs tailored to Windows. Linux is only mentioned in passing (with a retirement announcement), and there are no equivalent instructions, examples, or tools provided for Linux/macOS users. The documentation assumes the reader is deploying to Windows VMs and using Windows-centric package management and configuration tools.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux/macOS continuous deployment examples using native tools (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, or Homebrew) and configuration management (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or native Azure Automation alternatives).
- Provide step-by-step instructions for setting up Azure Automation State Configuration for Linux nodes, if still supported, or link to alternatives.
- Include Linux/macOS PowerShell Core examples where possible, or clarify platform limitations.
- Mention and demonstrate cross-platform package managers and configuration resources.
- Clearly state the Windows-only scope at the top if Linux is not supported, and provide links to Linux alternatives.
