Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), with all examples and references using Windows-centric tooling (Microsoft.Powershell.DSC, WMF, .ps1 scripts). There is no mention of Linux equivalents, nor examples for configuring Linux VMs or using cross-platform DSC solutions. All links and next steps point to Windows/PowerShell documentation.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for configuring Linux VM Scale Sets, including supported extensions and configuration management tools (e.g., Azure Custom Script Extension for Linux, Azure Machine Configuration for Linux, or third-party tools like Ansible, Chef, or Puppet).
- Clarify whether DSC extension is supported for Linux VMs, and if not, provide alternative solutions for Linux users.
- Include Linux-specific ARM template snippets and walkthroughs alongside Windows examples.
- Balance references and links to include Linux documentation and cross-platform configuration management resources.
