Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows-first bias: Windows tools (WSUS, SCCM) are mentioned exclusively and before any Linux equivalents, and examples and analogies throughout the document are centered on Windows patterns. There are no concrete Linux-specific examples or workflows (e.g., using Linux-native patching tools or scripting), and the only Linux mention is generic, without practical demonstration. Hotpatching is described only for Windows, and pre/post event examples are Windows-centric (e.g., snapshot VM, stop/start services) without Linux-specific scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-native patch management tool references (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, zypper) alongside WSUS/SCCM in the introduction.
- Provide Linux-specific workflow examples for patch scheduling, compliance reporting, and automation (e.g., using shell scripts, cron jobs, or Ansible).
- Include Linux-focused pre/post event script examples (e.g., systemctl commands, package manager hooks).
- Clarify hotpatching support or alternatives for Linux, or explicitly state its absence.
- Ensure parity in feature explanations by describing how Linux admins can leverage Azure Update Manager with their existing tools and patterns.
- Balance examples and analogies so that both Windows and Linux administrators see relevant, actionable guidance.
