Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 VMs, with all examples, tools, and scenarios centered around Windows environments. There are no references to Linux VMs, Linux patching tools, or cross-platform considerations. Windows-specific tools (WSUS, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager, Azure Update Manager) are mentioned exclusively, and the workflow is tailored for Windows workloads.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements clarifying that ESUs are only available for Windows Server, and provide guidance for Linux VM security update management in similar hybrid environments.
- Include references to Linux patching solutions (such as Azure Update Manager for Linux, or third-party Linux patch management tools) where appropriate.
- If Azure Arc supports similar lifecycle management for Linux VMs, provide parallel documentation or cross-links to those workflows.
- Ensure that prerequisites and eligible resources sections mention Linux VMs (if supported) or explicitly state their exclusion.
- Consider adding a comparison table of update/patch management for Windows vs. Linux VMs in Azure Arc-enabled VMware environments.
