Summary
The documentation page describes onboarding both Windows and Linux machines to Azure Arc via Automation Update Management, but the examples and tooling references are Windows-centric. The runbook names use 'Add-UMMachinesToArcWindowsChild' and 'Add-UMMachinesToArcLinuxChild', but all references to viewing job status and logs mention Azure PowerShell and the Azure portal, with no mention of Linux-native tools or CLI usage. There are no explicit Linux command examples, and the troubleshooting and verification steps rely on graphical interfaces or Windows-oriented tools.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for onboarding and verification, such as using Bash or shell scripts.
- Mention Linux-native tools (e.g., journalctl, systemctl) for troubleshooting agent installation and connectivity.
- Include instructions for viewing job status and logs using Azure CLI on Linux, not just PowerShell or portal.
- Balance references to Windows and Linux throughout the documentation, ensuring parity in examples and troubleshooting steps.
