Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific information, examples, and tooling (PowerShell, registry keys, Windows Update service) are presented more frequently and in greater detail than Linux equivalents. Windows patch orchestration modes are described first and in more depth, with Linux modes covered later and more briefly. PowerShell and CLI examples for Windows VMs are more numerous and detailed, while Linux examples are limited or missing in some sections (e.g., PowerShell usage for Linux VMs). Windows tools and concepts (registry keys, WSUS, KB IDs) are referenced without Linux analogs. The 'Next steps' section links only to Windows VM management, omitting Linux VM guidance.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux examples are provided for every API, CLI, and PowerShell scenario, including VM creation, update, patch assessment, and patch installation.
- Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, or alternate their order to avoid Windows-first presentation.
- Include Linux-specific tooling and concepts (e.g., package managers, configuration files) where Windows-specific tools (registry, WSUS, KB IDs) are mentioned.
- Expand explanations of Linux patch orchestration modes to match the detail given for Windows.
- Add 'Next steps' links for Linux VM management alongside Windows VM links.
- Where PowerShell is used for Windows, clarify if and how PowerShell or other automation tools can be used for Linux VMs, or provide equivalent Bash/Ansible examples.
