Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 VMs, with all examples, terminology, and tools centered around Windows environments. There are no Linux VM examples, nor are Linux patching or management tools mentioned. The patching solutions listed are all Microsoft/Windows-centric, and the eligibility and workflow are described only for Windows VMs.
Recommendations
- Add explicit mention of Linux VM support (if available) and clarify whether ESUs or similar mechanisms exist for Linux VMs managed via Arc.
- Provide examples and workflows for managing updates and compliance for Linux VMs in VMware environments through Azure Arc.
- Include Linux patch management solutions (e.g., Azure Update Manager for Linux, third-party Linux update tools) alongside Windows options.
- Ensure that screenshots and UI descriptions reflect both Windows and Linux VM scenarios, or clarify the scope if the feature is Windows-only.
- If the feature is Windows-only, state this clearly at the beginning to avoid confusion for Linux administrators.
