Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server 2012 and its management via Azure Arc. All examples, screenshots, and instructions pertain to Windows environments, with no mention of Linux equivalents, Linux patching, or cross-platform scenarios. Windows-specific tools (WSUS, Configuration Manager) are referenced, and there are no Linux or PowerShell alternatives or parity examples. The documentation assumes the reader is managing Windows servers only, and does not address mixed or Linux-only environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that the process is Windows-only, or add guidance for Linux servers if Azure Arc supports similar ESU or lifecycle management for Linux.
- Include examples or references for managing Linux servers in Azure Arc, if applicable, such as patching, compliance, or license management.
- Mention Linux-compatible patching solutions (e.g., Azure Update Manager for Linux, third-party Linux patching tools) alongside Windows tools.
- If Azure Arc ESU licensing is not available for Linux, clarify this limitation early in the documentation.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux server lifecycle management in Azure Arc, highlighting differences and similarities.
