Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell are mentioned before Linux and Azure CLI in several places, such as in agent installation and automation. Example links and references prioritize Windows (e.g., 'Manage Network Watcher extension for Windows' is listed before Linux). There is a lack of explicit Linux command examples, and PowerShell is highlighted as a primary automation method, with Azure CLI and ARM templates mentioned but not equally emphasized. Windows-specific tools and troubleshooting patterns (e.g., certificate store references) are present, while Linux equivalents are not described.
Recommendations
  • Ensure Linux and Windows instructions/examples are presented side-by-side or with equal prominence.
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) wherever PowerShell is shown.
  • Mention Linux tools and troubleshooting patterns (e.g., OpenSSL, Linux certificate stores) alongside Windows-specific ones.
  • When listing links or references, alternate the order or group by OS rather than listing Windows first.
  • Clarify that automation can be performed equally with Azure CLI, Bash scripts, and Terraform, not just PowerShell.
  • Add troubleshooting steps and diagnostic messages relevant to Linux environments.
