Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing PowerShell Desired State Configuration as the foundation for Azure Machine Configuration, mentioning Windows Admin Center (WAC) as a primary remote management tool, and providing detailed descriptions of Windows-specific workflows and roles. Linux is referenced mainly in the context of SSH access, but there are no Linux-specific configuration or management examples, and Windows tools/patterns are described first and in more detail.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for configuration management, such as using native Linux tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, or native shell scripts) alongside PowerShell DSC.
- Provide parity in remote management tooling by mentioning or recommending Linux equivalents to Windows Admin Center, such as Cockpit or Webmin, and describe how they can be integrated with Azure Arc.
- Present examples and workflows for both Windows and Linux systems side-by-side, ensuring that Linux instructions are not omitted or relegated to secondary status.
- Clarify role assignments and access patterns for Linux systems, including details on how RBAC and Entra ID integration work for Linux beyond SSH.
- Add troubleshooting and best practices sections for Linux environments, similar to those provided for Windows.
