Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2, with all examples, deployment options, and tooling references tailored to Windows environments (e.g., Group Policy, Configuration Manager, SCVMM). There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or mentions of Linux equivalents for onboarding, patching, or certificate management. Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively, and Linux scenarios are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add explicit guidance for onboarding Linux servers to Azure Arc, including supported distributions and prerequisites.
- Provide Linux-specific deployment examples (e.g., using shell scripts, Ansible, or native Linux automation tools) alongside Windows methods.
- Include instructions for managing certificates on Linux systems, such as using OpenSSL or system trust stores.
- Clarify whether ESU delivery via Azure Arc is available for Linux servers, and if not, explicitly state the scope.
- Where possible, mention cross-platform tools or approaches for hybrid environments, and avoid assuming Windows-only infrastructure.
