Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by focusing on PowerShell-based DSC workflows, referencing Windows-centric tools and patterns, and providing examples in PowerShell syntax. Although the example configures a LAMP stack (Linux), the process relies on Azure Automation DSC, which is retired for Linux, and does not provide alternative Linux-native solutions or examples. The documentation also references Chocolatey (a Windows package manager) in the next steps, further emphasizing Windows tooling.
Recommendations
- Clearly state the limitations and alternatives for Linux users, especially since Azure Automation DSC for Linux is retired.
- Provide Linux-native configuration management alternatives (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and link to relevant Azure documentation.
- Offer example workflows for Linux VMs using supported Azure features (e.g., Azure Policy Guest Configuration) with step-by-step instructions.
- Avoid referencing Windows-specific tools (like Chocolatey) as the primary next step for cross-platform documentation.
- Include Bash or shell script examples where appropriate, and clarify which steps are Windows-only.
