Summary
The documentation generally describes Azure native services in a platform-neutral way, but when discussing guest management prerequisites, it provides explicit steps only for Linux (regarding sudo configuration) and omits any Windows-specific guidance. However, throughout the page, Windows concepts (such as registry and files) are mentioned before Linux equivalents (daemons), and there are no concrete examples or instructions for Linux monitoring or extension installation beyond the sudo configuration. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or troubleshooting for Linux users, and the mention of Windows registry and files precedes Linux daemons, indicating a subtle 'windows_first' bias.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples and troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux VMs when enabling guest management and installing extensions.
  • When describing monitoring capabilities, mention Linux equivalents (such as systemd services, log files, configuration files) alongside Windows registry and files, and do so with equal prominence.
  • Provide sample commands or scripts for Linux extension installation and monitoring, similar to what would be provided for Windows (e.g., PowerShell).
  • Ensure that any prerequisites or limitations are described for both platforms, not just Linux (e.g., clarify if there are Windows-specific requirements for guest management).
