Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC). All examples use the Microsoft.Powershell.DSC extension, reference PowerShell scripts (.ps1), and mention Windows Management Framework (WMF) requirements. There is no mention of Linux support, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform DSC options. Linux users are not provided with guidance or examples, making the documentation Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add a section describing DSC support for Linux, including any limitations or prerequisites.
- Provide ARM template examples for Linux VM Scale Sets using the Linux DSC extension (OmsAgentForLinux or equivalent).
- Include links to Linux DSC documentation and examples.
- Clarify in the introduction that the page currently covers only Windows VMs, if Linux is not supported.
- If Linux is supported, show Linux examples alongside Windows examples, not just after.
- Mention Linux configuration management alternatives if DSC is not supported for Linux VMSS.
