Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, referencing only Windows PowerShell 5.1, PowerShell DSC, and the PowerSTIG project (which is Windows-centric). There are no examples or guidance for Linux systems, and Linux onboarding is only mentioned in a link reference, not in the main content. All tools and patterns discussed are Windows-specific, and Linux equivalents or cross-platform approaches are missing.
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux examples for configuring STIG compliance with Azure Automation State Configuration.
- Discuss or reference Linux-native tools or DSC resources (such as nx or xDSC resources) where applicable.
- Clarify whether PowerSTIG or similar community projects exist for Linux, or provide guidance for Linux users.
- Balance the 'Next steps' section with links and explanations relevant to Linux DSC usage.
- State up front whether the guidance is Windows-only, or provide parity for Linux users where possible.
