Summary

The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, exclusively using Windows Server, PowerShell, and Windows-specific tools (Chocolatey, PowerShell DSC, WindowsFeature, xNetworking) in all examples and instructions. Linux is only mentioned in passing, with no equivalent examples or guidance for Linux systems. The workflow, commands, and tooling are all tailored to Windows, with no parity for Linux users.

Recommendations

Provide equivalent Linux examples using native Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum) and configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet, or Azure Automation State Configuration for Linux if available).
Include step-by-step instructions for setting up continuous deployment on Linux VMs, including sample configuration files and automation scripts.
Mention and demonstrate cross-platform tools or patterns where possible, and clarify any Azure Automation features that are Windows-only or deprecated for Linux.
Balance the documentation by presenting Linux scenarios alongside Windows, especially in sections describing high-level concepts, workflows, and automation patterns.
Clearly indicate the current support status for Linux in Azure Automation State Configuration, and provide links or references to Linux-specific guidance if Windows is the only supported platform.
