Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The bulk of automation and scripting guidance is provided via PowerShell, which is a Windows-centric tool, and the only bulk-update script is for Windows VMs using PowerShell. PowerShell is presented as the primary automation method, with no equivalent Bash or shell script for Linux VM bulk updates. In several sections, Windows examples or tools (PowerShell) are mentioned before Linux alternatives, and the scripting patterns are tailored to Windows environments. While Azure CLI examples are provided for both platforms, advanced scenarios and automation are Windows-focused.
Recommendations
- Provide a Bash or shell script example for bulk-updating the Network Watcher extension on Linux VMs, similar to the PowerShell script for Windows.
- Offer parity in automation guidance by including Linux-native tooling (e.g., Bash, Python, Ansible) for managing extensions at scale.
- When listing manual update options, alternate the order of Windows and Linux examples, or present them side-by-side to avoid implicit prioritization.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI) as the recommended approach for both Windows and Linux, and clarify when PowerShell is required or optional.
- Add troubleshooting and support guidance specific to Linux environments, not just generic or Windows-centric advice.
