Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific management features (such as Windows Server management and Extended Security Updates for Windows Server and SQL Server) are highlighted, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. References to Azure Automation and runbooks emphasize PowerShell and Windows registry/files, with Linux daemons mentioned only as a secondary consideration. Examples and links for onboarding and management tasks frequently use Windows as the default or only tab, and Linux-specific instructions or examples are missing or less prominent.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux management features (such as Linux VM lifecycle, Linux security updates, and Linux configuration management) are described with equal detail and prominence as Windows features.
- Provide explicit Linux examples and links (e.g., onboarding Linux VMs, using Bash scripts in Azure Automation, managing Linux daemons and files) alongside or before Windows examples.
- Include Linux-first or cross-platform tabs in referenced guides and quickstarts, not just Windows or PowerShell.
- Highlight Azure Arc benefits for Linux VMs (such as free ESUs for Linux, Linux-specific monitoring, and configuration scenarios) where applicable.
- Balance mentions of Windows tools (PowerShell, registry, Windows Server management) with Linux tools (Bash, systemd, Linux configuration management) in automation and monitoring sections.
