Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The only code example provided for configuring public network access uses PowerShell, with no equivalent shown for Linux (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash, or REST API). The State Configuration section emphasizes PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC), a Windows-centric technology, without mentioning or linking to Linux equivalents or alternatives. Throughout the guide, Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, DSC) are referenced first or exclusively, while Linux-specific instructions, examples, or tools are either missing or only mentioned in passing (e.g., Log Analytics agent for Windows or Linux).
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux examples for all configuration steps, such as using Azure CLI, Bash scripts, or REST API calls alongside PowerShell.
  • Include Linux-focused configuration guidance for Desired State Configuration, such as references to native Linux DSC support or alternative configuration management tools.
  • Ensure that all agent installation and configuration instructions are provided for both Windows and Linux, with clear parity in detail and examples.
  • Where PowerShell is used, provide side-by-side examples for Azure CLI or REST API to support cross-platform usage.
  • Explicitly mention Linux support and considerations in all relevant sections, not just as a secondary note.
