Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC). All code examples reference the Microsoft.Powershell.DSC extension and use PowerShell scripts (.ps1), with no mention of Linux equivalents or support for Linux VM extensions. References and links are exclusively for Windows/PowerShell DSC, and there are no Linux-specific instructions or examples.
Recommendations
- Add sections or notes on using Linux VM extensions for configuration management, such as the Custom Script Extension or Azure Machine Configuration for Linux.
- Provide equivalent ARM template snippets for configuring Linux VMs or scale sets, using supported Linux extensions.
- Include references and links to documentation for Linux VM extensions and configuration management tools (e.g., cloud-init, Chef, Puppet, or Ansible on Linux).
- Clarify in the introduction or notes whether the DSC extension is Windows-only, and guide Linux users to appropriate alternatives.
