Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows PowerShell and PowerSTIG, with all examples and references tailored to Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, and critical concepts (DSC, PowerSTIG) are presented as Windows-only solutions. Linux is referenced only in passing, with no guidance or examples for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Linux/macOS configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) and how they can be used to implement STIG baselines.
- Provide examples or links for configuring STIG compliance on Linux systems within Azure Automation.
- Clarify the scope of PowerSTIG and DSC, and explicitly state limitations for non-Windows platforms.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux approaches to STIG automation in Azure.
- Reference onboarding guides or documentation for Linux nodes with Azure Automation State Configuration.
