Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: most command examples for VM extensions use Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'powershell.exe' in Custom Script Extension settings), extension types and names are often Windows-centric (e.g., 'IaaSAntimalware', 'DatadogWindowsAgent'), and Linux equivalents are either missing or mentioned secondarily (e.g., 'KeyVaultForLinux or KeyVaultForWindows'). There are no explicit Linux shell script examples, and the extension configuration examples do not show Linux usage patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux examples for all extension commands, especially for Custom Script Extension (e.g., using bash/sh instead of powershell.exe).
- Include Linux-specific extension types and settings (e.g., 'DependencyAgentLinux', 'DatadogLinuxAgent') in examples.
- When listing extension types or names, mention Linux and Windows options equally and explicitly.
- Add sample extension settings using Linux shell commands (e.g., 'commandToExecute': 'bash -c "ps aux | awk ..."').
- Clarify which extensions are cross-platform and which are OS-specific, and provide guidance for both.
- Avoid using Windows tools (like powershell.exe) as the default in examples; alternate or pair with Linux equivalents.
