Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a bias towards Azure and Windows-centric workflows. While the main VM creation example uses Ubuntu Linux, nearly all instructions and examples focus on Azure CLI, Azure Key Vault, and Microsoft Entra ID, with no mention of Linux-specific tools, patterns, or alternative credential management approaches outside Azure. There are no examples for deploying on non-Azure Linux environments (e.g., using native Linux tools or shell scripts), and the documentation assumes Azure as the default platform for identity and secrets management. Windows or Azure portal methods are described before any Linux-native alternatives, and there is no parity in examples for Linux-only environments or non-Azure clouds.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit examples for deploying the connector agent on non-Azure Linux VMs, including steps for common Linux distributions (e.g., CentOS, RHEL, Debian) outside Azure.
  • Provide credential management alternatives for Linux environments, such as using native Linux secret stores (e.g., HashiCorp Vault, Gnome Keyring, or environment variables) instead of Azure Key Vault.
  • Include sample scripts and commands using bash, systemd, and other Linux-native tools for agent deployment and management.
  • Offer guidance for integrating with non-Azure identity providers (e.g., LDAP, Kerberos) for authentication, especially for on-premises Linux deployments.
  • Present Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and health checks, such as using journalctl, systemctl, and standard Linux networking tools.
  • Ensure that Linux and non-Azure cloud deployment instructions are given equal prominence and detail as Azure/Windows-centric methods.
