Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing PowerShell and Windows-centric tools and patterns throughout. PowerShell and DSC (Desired State Configuration) are highlighted as primary automation and configuration mechanisms, with minimal mention of Linux-native equivalents. Examples and terminology (such as modules, cmdlets, and references to Windows services like Active Directory and SQL Server) are Windows-focused. Linux support is mentioned, but Linux-specific examples, tools, or patterns are absent or secondary.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-native examples alongside PowerShell, such as Bash or Python runbooks specifically for Linux scenarios.
- Explicitly mention and document Linux configuration management options (e.g., Ansible, Chef, native Linux DSC support) where relevant.
- Balance references to Windows tools (e.g., Active Directory, SQL Server) with Linux equivalents (e.g., OpenLDAP, MySQL/PostgreSQL).
- Include Linux-specific modules, package management, and automation patterns in the shared resources and scenarios sections.
- Ensure that all features and capabilities are described with parity for both Windows and Linux, including any limitations or differences.
