Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific tools and workflows (such as RDP, PowerShell, SCCM, and Windows Task Scheduler) before or in preference to Linux equivalents. PowerShell is highlighted as the primary scripting language, and Windows-centric automation patterns are described in detail, while Linux examples and tools are only briefly mentioned or omitted. There are no concrete Linux command/script examples, and Linux-specific automation patterns are not explored.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux examples for each automation scenario, including sample Bash scripts and Linux command-line usage.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., cron, systemd timers, Ansible) alongside Windows tools like Task Scheduler and SCCM, and explain how Azure Arc integrates with them.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are introduced together, rather than leading with Windows.
- Include explicit examples of using Azure Run Command and SSH with Linux servers, including sample commands and scripts.
- Highlight Linux authentication and management features (such as Microsoft Entra authentication for SSH) with equal prominence as Windows features.
