Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell-based workflows for compiling DSC configurations in Azure Automation. All code examples use PowerShell, and there is no mention or example of using Linux-based tools or workflows. Windows-specific modules, cmdlets, and file paths are referenced throughout, and Linux alternatives or cross-platform approaches are not discussed. The documentation assumes a Windows environment and does not address Linux users' needs.
Recommendations
- Add examples using cross-platform PowerShell Core (pwsh) and clarify compatibility with Linux/macOS.
- Explicitly state whether DSC compilation and management is supported on Linux, and if not, provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
- If Linux support is deprecated (as hinted by the retirement announcement), clearly highlight this at the top and provide migration paths or alternatives.
- Provide equivalent command-line or scripting examples for Linux environments where possible, or explain limitations.
- Avoid using only Windows file paths (e.g., C:\...) in examples; include Linux-style paths or note platform differences.
- Mention and link to any Linux-native tools or approaches for configuration management if applicable.
