Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It is focused almost exclusively on Windows PowerShell 5.1 and Windows-centric tools (DSC, SharePointDSC, ReverseDSC). All examples, references, and next steps are tailored to Windows environments, with no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or equivalent tooling mentioned. Linux is referenced only in passing, with no guidance on how to achieve similar outcomes on Linux servers.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and instructions for Linux environments, including how to extract configurations from Linux servers.
- Mention and link to Linux equivalents of DSC, such as 'OMI' or 'DSC for Linux', and community projects relevant to Linux configuration extraction.
- Provide parity in step-by-step guides for Linux, including how to generate MOF files from Linux servers and upload them to Azure Automation.
- Update the 'Applies to' section to clarify Linux support and limitations, and offer alternative approaches for Linux users.
- Include references to Linux-specific documentation and resources in the 'Next steps' section.
