Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing PowerShell Desired State Configuration as the foundation for Azure Machine Configuration, mentioning Windows Admin Center (WAC) as a primary remote management tool, and providing detailed explanations for Windows-specific tools and patterns. Linux equivalents (such as Ansible, SSH management, or Linux-native configuration tools) are not mentioned or are only referenced in passing. There are no Linux-specific configuration or remote management examples, and the documentation assumes familiarity with Windows-centric tools and workflows.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-native configuration management examples (e.g., using Ansible, Chef, or native Linux DSC).
- Provide parity in remote access tooling by mentioning and documenting Linux equivalents to Windows Admin Center, or clarify that such equivalents do not exist and suggest best practices for Linux management.
- Offer example workflows for Linux systems, such as SSH-based management, sudo configuration, and compliance checking using Linux tools.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows scenarios are introduced together, rather than Windows tools and roles being described first or in greater detail.
- Add explicit Linux-focused sections or callouts to ensure Linux administrators can find relevant guidance without needing to interpret Windows-centric instructions.
