Summary
The documentation provides detailed, actionable PowerShell examples for remediating configuration drift on Windows VMs, but offers no equivalent command-line examples for Linux VMs. The Windows remediation section is presented first, with explicit PowerShell cmdlets and links, while the Linux section lacks concrete script examples and instead refers users to external documentation or general processes. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Update-DscConfiguration) are emphasized, while Linux remediation is described as less direct and less supported.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit command-line examples for Linux remediation, such as shell or Python scripts that can be run manually or via custom script extensions.
- Present Windows and Linux remediation steps in parallel, giving equal prominence and detail to both platforms.
- Include references to Linux-native tools or commands (e.g., shell scripts, cloud-init, or Python DSC clients) where appropriate.
- Clarify any feature gaps (such as Run Command support) but offer alternative Linux workflows with step-by-step instructions.
- Ensure that links to Linux documentation are as direct and actionable as those for Windows, ideally including inline code snippets.
