Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows, with all examples, configuration scripts, and tooling focused exclusively on Windows Server and PowerShell. There is no mention of Linux support, nor are any Linux equivalents or examples provided. Windows-specific features (registry keys, RDP, MSI installers, IIS configuration) are discussed in detail, while Linux alternatives are absent.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Managed Instance supports Linux workloads. If not, state this explicitly at the top of the documentation.
- If Linux support is planned or available, provide equivalent examples for Linux, such as Bash scripts, Linux storage mount patterns, and configuration via Linux tools.
- Include documentation for Linux-specific configuration (e.g., environment variables, file permissions, package managers like apt/yum).
- Offer parity in remote access guidance (e.g., SSH instead of RDP/Bastion for Linux).
- Discuss Linux-relevant security and troubleshooting practices.
- If only Windows is supported, consider renaming sections and the product to make the Windows-only nature clear, reducing confusion for cross-platform users.
