Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific examples (PowerShell, CLI) are provided before or in greater detail than Linux equivalents, especially in sections on patch orchestration modes and enablement. PowerShell commands are only given for Windows VMs, with no Linux PowerShell examples. Windows registry keys and tools (e.g., WSUS, Windows Update service) are discussed in detail, while Linux equivalents (e.g., yum, apt, packagekit) are mentioned briefly or not at all. Some sections, such as patch orchestration modes, provide more options and explanation for Windows than Linux, and the 'Next steps' link is Windows-focused.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific PowerShell and CLI examples wherever Windows examples are given, including for enablement, assessment, and patch installation.
  • Discuss Linux patching tools and mechanisms (e.g., apt, yum, zypper, packagekit) with parity to Windows Update/WSUS, including how automatic updates are managed and disabled.
  • Ensure patch orchestration modes are explained with equal detail for Linux, including any limitations or differences.
  • Add 'Next steps' links for Linux VM management, not just Windows.
  • When listing supported images, present Linux and Windows lists with equal prominence and detail.
  • Avoid referencing Windows registry keys or tools without providing Linux configuration file or service equivalents.
  • Where possible, present examples for both OS types side-by-side, or alternate which OS is presented first.
