Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all examples and configuration samples using Windows PowerShell DSC and Windows-specific resources (e.g., WindowsFeature). The only VM creation link is for Windows, and there are no Linux configuration examples or references to Linux DSC resources or onboarding steps. The documentation mentions Linux support only in passing, and does not provide parity in instructions, examples, or tooling for Linux/macOS users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux onboarding and configuration examples, including sample DSC configurations for Linux resources.
- Provide links and instructions for creating Linux VMs in Azure alongside Windows VM instructions.
- Reference Linux DSC documentation and resources, such as nxFile, nxPackage, etc.
- Clarify any limitations or retirement notices for Linux support at the top, and provide migration guidance if Linux support is deprecated.
- Include PowerShell Core or cross-platform alternatives where possible, and note differences in workflow for Linux/macOS users.
