Summary
The documentation provides a reasonably balanced overview of both Windows and Linux support for the Azure Connected Machine agent. However, there is a noticeable Windows bias: Windows installation details are presented first and in greater depth, with more granular information about folders, services, accounts, security groups, environment variables, and logs. Windows-specific tools (MSI installer, Group Policy, NT SERVICE accounts) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents (systemd, package managers, service accounts) are covered more briefly. The Windows section includes troubleshooting tips and security group details that are missing or less emphasized for Linux.
Recommendations
- Present Windows and Linux installation details in parallel sections or tables, rather than Windows-first.
- Provide equal depth for Linux installation, including details on service accounts, security groups, and troubleshooting tips.
- Include Linux-specific configuration and management patterns (e.g., SELinux/AppArmor, systemd unit files, user/group management) where Windows Group Policy and NT SERVICE accounts are discussed.
- Add Linux-specific tips for troubleshooting and post-uninstall artifact cleanup.
- Ensure examples and instructions for both platforms are equally visible and accessible.
