Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows Server 2022 as the operating system for Managed Instance on Azure App Service. All configuration script examples use PowerShell (.ps1), with explicit statements that only PowerShell is supported. Features such as registry key configuration, MSI installation, and RDP/Bastion access are all Windows-specific. There are no Linux equivalents or examples, and no mention of Linux tooling, shell scripts, or Linux-based configuration patterns.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the introduction and FAQ that Managed Instance on Azure App Service is Windows-only, and direct Linux users to alternative offerings (such as Linux App Service plans or Azure Container Apps).
- If Linux support is planned, provide equivalent examples using Bash scripts, Linux storage mount patterns (e.g., NFS), and Linux configuration tools.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives for configuration, storage, and remote access (e.g., SSH for Linux, Bash for scripting).
- Add a comparison table or section that outlines feature parity and differences between Windows and Linux App Service plans.
- Explicitly call out limitations for non-Windows workloads to prevent confusion for users seeking Linux support.
