Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, with all examples and configuration instructions tailored exclusively for Windows environments. Only PowerShell scripts are supported for configuration, and features such as registry key management, RDP/Bastion access, and references to Windows-specific installers (MSI, COM, IIS) are present. There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and the operating system is explicitly stated as Windows Server 2022. The documentation does not mention or support Linux-based managed instances, nor does it provide parity for Linux tools or scripting languages.
Recommendations
  • Clearly state at the top that Managed Instance on Azure App Service is Windows-only, if Linux support is not planned.
  • If Linux support is planned or possible, add equivalent sections and examples for Linux (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux file system mounts, Linux configuration management).
  • Provide parity in tooling and scripting: allow Bash or shell scripts for configuration, and document how to use them.
  • Include Linux storage mount instructions (e.g., NFS, CIFS) and Linux credential management.
  • Offer troubleshooting and log locations for Linux environments.
  • If registry key adapters are Windows-only, clarify this and suggest Linux alternatives (e.g., environment variables, config files).
  • For remote access, document SSH-based diagnostics for Linux, not just RDP/Bastion.
  • Review FAQ and examples to ensure Linux users are not excluded or misled.
