Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. While it mentions Linux support and parity as a benefit of Azure Arc, examples and onboarding guidance are primarily Windows-centric. Windows-specific tools and licensing (Scheduled Task, Windows Server Software Assurance) are referenced, and onboarding instructions focus on Windows scenarios. There are no explicit Linux onboarding examples, nor are Linux-native tools or patterns (e.g., systemd, cron) mentioned. The functional mapping and feature descriptions generally treat Windows as the default, with Linux support noted as an enhancement rather than a core scenario.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit onboarding instructions and examples for Linux servers, including use of Linux-native tools (e.g., systemd timers, cron jobs) for agent installation and management.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples in sections describing functionality (e.g., patching, configuration, reporting), such as referencing Linux package managers, configuration files, and security tools.
  • Balance references to Windows licensing and tools with equivalent Linux scenarios (e.g., mention Linux support contracts or open-source alternatives).
  • Ensure that all feature descriptions and guidance highlight Linux support as a first-class scenario, not just as an add-on.
  • Include screenshots or command-line examples for both Windows (PowerShell, Scheduled Task) and Linux (bash, systemd, cron) where relevant.
