Summary
The documentation page exhibits a clear Windows bias. It exclusively provides step-by-step instructions and screenshots for deploying the agent VM using Microsoft Hyper-V, a Windows virtualization technology. VMware is mentioned only as an alternative, with no detailed steps or examples. There is no mention of Linux-based virtualization platforms (such as KVM, VirtualBox, or Proxmox), nor are there any Linux-specific deployment instructions or examples. The network configuration guidance references Windows Server documentation, and PowerShell is the only command-line example given for agent decommissioning, with no equivalent Bash or Linux CLI example.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit support statements for Linux-based virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox, Proxmox) if possible, or clarify their status.
  • Provide detailed, step-by-step instructions for deploying the agent VM on VMware, including screenshots and CLI examples.
  • If the agent image is Linux-based, include instructions for creating and managing the VM on Linux hosts using common tools (e.g., virt-manager, virsh, qemu).
  • Include Linux CLI examples (e.g., using Azure CLI in Bash) for agent registration, decommissioning, and other management tasks.
  • Reference Linux documentation for network configuration and troubleshooting, not just Windows Server resources.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting and administrative shell access instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
