Summary
The documentation describes onboarding both Windows and Linux machines to Azure Arc via Automation Update Management, but the detailed operational examples and tool references (such as runbooks and PowerShell) are Windows-centric. The runbook naming and usage (Add-UMMachinesToArc, Add-UMMachinesToArcWindowsChild) and references to Azure PowerShell for status checks are presented before or without Linux equivalents. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or references to Linux-native tools (e.g., Bash, shell scripts), and troubleshooting/verification steps do not mention Linux-specific guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, shell scripts) for onboarding and verification steps.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (such as CLI commands, log file locations, and troubleshooting steps specific to Linux).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Windows and Linux instructions/examples are given equal prominence.
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs showing the process on Linux systems, not just Windows.
- Clarify that both Add-UMMachinesToArcWindowsChild and Add-UMMachinesToArcLinuxChild runbooks are available and provide example outputs for each.
