Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell workflows for compiling DSC configurations in Azure Automation. All code examples use Windows PowerShell, and references to Windows-specific modules and paths are prevalent. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples or guidance, and the only mention of Linux is in a retirement announcement. The documentation assumes users are working in a Windows environment, which creates friction for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for Linux/macOS users, including alternative workflows or tools for compiling DSC configurations.
- Provide examples using cross-platform PowerShell Core (pwsh) and clarify compatibility.
- Include notes or sections on how Linux users can interact with Azure Automation State Configuration, if supported.
- If Linux support is deprecated, clearly state limitations and suggest migration paths or alternatives for Linux users.
- Avoid Windows-specific file paths in examples; use generic or platform-neutral paths where possible.
