Summary
The documentation page exhibits several Windows biases: Windows updates and security fixes are highlighted first in 'What's new'; multiple examples and workarounds reference PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (e.g., 'Get-VMInguestLogs', 'Remove-HcsKubernetesAzureArcAgent', 'Get-Process', 'Restart-Service'); instructions for SQL database creation and NFS mounting use Windows command syntax and tools (e.g., 'sqlcmd', 'robocopy', 'Explorer', Windows-style mount commands); and troubleshooting steps for VM extensions focus on Windows VMs and RDP. There is a lack of equivalent Linux examples or parity in instructions, with Linux tools and workflows rarely mentioned or only referenced in passing.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for VM management, log collection, and troubleshooting.
  • Include Linux command-line equivalents for PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., bash scripts, SSH usage, systemctl/service commands).
  • When referencing tools like 'sqlcmd', mention how to install and use them on Linux, or provide alternatives (e.g., 'mssql-cli').
  • For NFS mounting, add Linux mount command examples and clarify attribute usage (e.g., 'mount -o nolock ...').
  • When suggesting file copy tools, include Linux options (e.g., 'cp', 'rsync') in addition to 'robocopy' and Explorer.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps for VM extensions and agent management include Linux VM scenarios.
  • Avoid presenting Windows tools and workflows first; strive for equal prominence for Linux and cross-platform approaches.
