Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. In the 'Install the VM agent' section, Windows instructions are presented first, with explicit steps, download links, and verification details, while Linux instructions are less detailed and lack concrete example commands. The Windows agent installation references a specific MSI installer and file path, whereas the Linux instructions only mention using RPM/DEB packages without examples. No PowerShell or CLI examples are present, but the overall pattern prioritizes Windows tools and details.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux installation instructions with explicit example commands (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) for installing/updating the Azure Linux agent.
  • Include verification steps for Linux agent installation, such as checking the agent version via command line.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions in parallel or side-by-side, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Add troubleshooting tips specific to Linux environments, similar to those given for Windows.
  • Ensure that screenshots, examples, and terminology are balanced between Windows and Linux contexts.
