Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell-based workflows for compiling DSC configurations in Azure Automation. All code examples use Windows PowerShell, and Windows-centric tools and paths (e.g., C:\, WindowsFeature) are referenced exclusively. There are no examples or instructions for compiling DSC configurations from Linux or using cross-platform tools. The documentation also refers to Windows PowerShell as the primary or only scripting environment, and does not mention Linux equivalents or alternatives.
Recommendations:
- Add examples and instructions for compiling DSC configurations from Linux environments, using cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) where possible.
- Clarify which steps and cmdlets are supported on Linux and which are Windows-only.
- Provide Linux file path examples (e.g., /home/user/configs) alongside Windows paths.
- Mention any limitations or differences for Linux users up front, especially in sections where only Windows is supported.
- If Linux support is deprecated or limited (as suggested by the Linux retirement announcement), make this explicit and provide guidance or alternatives for Linux users.
