Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, with all examples, deployment options, and tooling references tailored to Windows environments. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or mentions of Linux equivalents for onboarding, patching, or managing servers with Azure Arc. Windows tools and patterns (Group Policy, Configuration Manager, SCVMM, VDI, MAK keys) are referenced exclusively, and no parity is provided for Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements clarifying whether Linux servers are supported or not for ESU delivery via Azure Arc.
- If Linux onboarding is possible, provide equivalent Linux examples (e.g., shell scripts, Linux agent installation, Linux patching workflows).
- Include Linux-centric deployment options (such as Ansible, SSH, or Linux-native automation tools) alongside Windows tools like Group Policy and Configuration Manager.
- Mention Linux-specific networking and certificate installation steps if applicable.
- Ensure documentation structure does not assume Windows-first by default; provide parallel guidance for Linux where relevant.
