Summary
The documentation page exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell examples are consistently presented first, with detailed PowerShell cmdlets and scripts provided for Windows scenarios. Bicep and ARM template examples are exclusively for Windows VMs, with no Linux equivalents. The use of Windows-specific tools (e.g., Windows PowerShell 5.1, .NET Framework) is emphasized, while Linux requirements are less detailed and lack parity in automation examples. Folder paths and permissions are described only for Windows, with minimal Linux-specific operational guidance. The documentation also lacks Linux-focused CLI, Bicep, and ARM template examples, and troubleshooting notes are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or side-by-side examples for all code snippets, especially in PowerShell, Bicep, ARM templates, and CLI sections.
  • Include Linux-specific automation examples in Bicep and ARM templates, showing how to deploy and manage Linux Hybrid Runbook Workers.
  • Expand Linux operational guidance, such as folder permissions, troubleshooting, and extension management, to match the detail given for Windows.
  • Balance the mention of Windows tools with Linux equivalents (e.g., Bash, Python, systemd), and clarify when PowerShell Core is supported on Linux.
  • Ensure all instructions, especially those for proxy, firewall, and extension installation, are equally detailed for Linux environments.
  • Add explicit Linux troubleshooting steps and operational best practices, similar to those provided for Windows (e.g., handling permissions, extension upgrade issues).
