Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, with all examples and tooling references centered around Windows PowerShell DSC and the PowerSTIG project. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, and Linux onboarding is only referenced via a link, not in the main content. The article assumes familiarity with Windows tooling and does not provide guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include explicit examples and instructions for configuring Linux servers using Azure Automation State Configuration.
- Mention and link to Linux DSC resources, such as the OMI-based DSC agent for Linux.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
- Add a section describing how Linux users can achieve STIG compliance using Azure Automation, including any limitations.
- Present onboarding steps for both Windows and Linux side-by-side, rather than referencing Linux only in a link.
