Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Most code examples for enabling and updating extensions use Windows-specific tools and commands (e.g., powershell.exe in Custom Script Extension settings). Extension types and examples (Antimalware, DatadogWindowsAgent, DependencyAgentWindows) are predominantly Windows-focused, with little or no explicit Linux equivalent shown. Linux-specific extension types (e.g., KeyVaultForLinux) are mentioned only as alternatives, not demonstrated. There are no examples showing Linux shell commands or scripts, nor are Linux-specific extension settings or patterns illustrated.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel Linux examples for each extension operation, using bash/sh commands in Custom Script Extension settings.
- Show how to enable Linux-specific extensions (e.g., DependencyAgentLinux, DatadogLinuxAgent) with full example commands.
- Balance extension examples to include both Windows and Linux scenarios, with clear indication of OS applicability.
- When showing Custom Script Extension, alternate between powershell.exe and bash/sh scripts in the 'commandToExecute' parameter.
- Add notes or tables summarizing which extensions are available for Windows, Linux, or both, and link to relevant documentation.
- Ensure troubleshooting and related content includes Linux-specific guidance and references.
