Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Most code examples for enabling and updating VM extensions use Windows-specific tools and commands, such as 'powershell.exe' and PowerShell syntax in the Custom Script Extension. Extension examples (Antimalware, Datadog) are exclusively for Windows, with no Linux equivalents or examples shown. The naming and output samples also reference Windows extensions (e.g., 'DependencyAgentWindows'), and Linux-specific extension usage is not illustrated. There is a lack of parity in showing Linux shell commands or Linux-specific extension scenarios.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for enabling and updating extensions, such as using bash/sh commands in the Custom Script Extension.
- Provide extension examples for popular Linux scenarios (e.g., DependencyAgentLinux, monitoring agents, security extensions for Linux).
- Show both Windows and Linux extension names/types in output and command samples.
- Balance the documentation by alternating Windows and Linux examples, or presenting them side-by-side.
- Explicitly mention differences in extension usage or configuration between Windows and Linux where relevant.
