Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by frequently referencing Windows-specific management features (such as Windows Server management, Extended Security Updates for Windows Server and SQL Server), mentioning Windows tools (PowerShell, Windows registry, Windows-specific tabs) before or instead of Linux equivalents, and lacking Linux-specific examples or guidance. While Linux is mentioned in some contexts (e.g., Azure Update Manager supports Windows and Linux), the documentation does not provide parity in examples, tooling, or feature highlights for Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit Linux management examples and scenarios alongside Windows examples, such as Linux VM lifecycle operations, Linux-specific VM extensions, and Linux daemon configuration.
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity instructions in sections that currently reference Windows tools or features (e.g., show how to use Bash, SSH, or Linux-native automation for VM management and configuration).
  • Highlight Linux-specific benefits and features of Azure Arc-enabled VMware vSphere, such as integration with popular Linux distributions, support for Linux security and compliance tools, and automation using Ansible or other Linux-native frameworks.
  • Ensure that all references to Windows tools (PowerShell, Windows registry, etc.) are balanced with equivalent Linux tools (Bash, systemd, Linux file system, etc.), and provide examples for both platforms.
  • Add links to Linux-focused documentation and guides where Windows-focused links are present, ensuring equal visibility and discoverability for Linux users.
