Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012 and its management within Azure Arc, with all examples, screenshots, and scenarios exclusively referencing Windows environments. There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations mentioned, and all patching solutions and license management steps are tailored to Windows-specific tools and workflows.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the ESU delivery process is Windows-only, or clarify if Linux servers onboarded to Azure Arc are supported or excluded.
- If Linux support exists, provide parallel instructions and examples for managing ESUs or similar security updates on Linux Arc-enabled servers.
- Mention Linux-compatible patch management solutions (e.g., apt, yum, Azure Update Management for Linux) alongside Windows tools like WSUS and Configuration Manager.
- Include screenshots or CLI examples (such as Bash or Azure CLI) relevant to Linux environments where applicable.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux server update/ESU workflows in Azure Arc to help administrators understand platform differences.
