Summary
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows and PowerShell DSC, with all examples and instructions referencing Windows PowerShell 5.1 and related tooling. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, nor examples for non-Windows platforms, despite Azure Automation DSC supporting Linux nodes. The guidance and links are focused on Windows PowerShell and DSC resources, creating friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add explicit instructions and examples for configuring data at scale for Linux/macOS nodes managed by Azure Automation DSC.
- Include references to cross-platform PowerShell (pwsh) and clarify compatibility with non-Windows environments.
- Provide Linux/macOS-specific onboarding and configuration steps, including file formats and MOF generation for those platforms.
- Mention and link to Linux DSC resources and documentation where relevant.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and which are cross-platform.
