Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric tools (WSUS, SCCM) and features (hotpatching) before mentioning Linux equivalents. Examples and analogies are almost exclusively drawn from Windows environments, and there are no concrete Linux-specific usage examples or scripts. Linux support is acknowledged, but details and practical guidance are minimal compared to Windows.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for patch scheduling, compliance reporting, and automation (e.g., using shell scripts, cron jobs, or Ansible).
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as apt, yum, dnf, zypper, and systemd timers) alongside or before Windows tools when discussing patch management workflows.
- Include sample maintenance configurations and automation runbooks for common Linux distributions.
- Expand the hotpatching section to clarify Linux kernel live patching support (if any) or explicitly state its absence.
- Balance analogies and references to legacy tooling by including Linux equivalents (e.g., comparing SCCM to Red Hat Satellite or SUSE Manager).
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs of the Azure Update Manager dashboard with Linux servers.
