Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, with all examples, deployment options, and tooling references specific to Windows environments (e.g., Group Policy, Configuration Manager, SCVMM). There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or mentions of Linux tools or onboarding patterns. The documentation assumes the reader is managing Windows machines and does not address Linux server scenarios, even though Azure Arc supports both Windows and Linux servers.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance and examples for onboarding Linux servers to Azure Arc for ESU delivery, including supported distributions and prerequisites.
- Include Linux-specific deployment options, such as using shell scripts, Ansible, or other Linux-native automation tools for at-scale onboarding.
- Mention how ESU delivery and Azure Arc features apply to Linux servers, or clarify if ESUs are only available for Windows Server (and state this clearly).
- Provide parity in networking and certificate installation instructions for Linux environments, including relevant commands and troubleshooting steps.
- If ESUs are not available for Linux, add a clear note at the beginning to set expectations for Linux users.
