Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: PowerShell is the only shell used in automation examples, with no Bash or Linux shell equivalents provided. Windows Task Scheduler is exclusively mentioned for scheduling scripts, omitting Linux cron or systemd alternatives. The main automation script is described as being run in PowerShell, and all step-by-step instructions for script execution are Windows-centric. Linux-specific guidance is limited to a sudo configuration note, and there are no Linux shell or scheduling examples for large-scale agent installation.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash shell examples for running the automation script on Linux systems.
  • Include instructions for scheduling the script using Linux cron or systemd timers, not just Windows Task Scheduler.
  • Clarify whether the helper script can run cross-platform (e.g., via PowerShell Core on Linux, or provide a Bash/Python alternative if not).
  • Ensure that out-of-band automation methods (e.g., Ansible) are given equal prominence and example detail as Windows-centric methods.
  • Add explicit Linux VM examples for agent installation at scale, including command-line and scheduling workflows.
