Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and extensions before Linux equivalents, such as the Network Watcher extension for Windows VMs and linking to a Windows-focused agent installation guide. Automation examples mention PowerShell before the Azure CLI and Terraform, and there are no explicit Linux migration examples or Linux agent installation instructions. Linux support is mentioned, but details and parity are lacking compared to Windows.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux migration steps and examples, including agent installation and configuration for Linux VMs.
  • Link to both Windows and Linux agent documentation, not just Windows-focused guides.
  • Ensure automation examples (PowerShell, CLI, Terraform) are presented in a cross-platform manner, with CLI and Terraform shown before or alongside PowerShell.
  • Clarify Linux support for all features, especially where previous limitations existed (e.g., Service Connectivity Monitor, ExpressRoute).
  • Add troubleshooting and error messages specific to Linux environments where relevant.
