Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell and PowerShell DSC, with all examples and instructions referencing Windows-specific tools and workflows. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples, and the applicability note explicitly mentions Windows PowerShell 5.1. References to configuration management and DSC resources are all Windows-centric, with no mention of cross-platform alternatives or Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for Linux/macOS environments, including how to use cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) and any differences in DSC usage.
- Clarify whether Datum and Azure Automation State Configuration support Linux nodes, and provide guidance for onboarding and managing Linux machines.
- Include links to Linux/macOS documentation and resources where relevant.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux side-by-side, or indicate platform-specific steps clearly.
