Summary
The documentation provides detailed, step-by-step instructions for installing the VM agent on Windows, including download links, file paths, and verification steps. In contrast, the Linux instructions are brief, generic, and lack concrete examples or commands. Windows-specific tools and patterns (MSI installer, file paths, right-click actions) are mentioned exclusively, while Linux equivalents (e.g., package manager commands, verification steps) are omitted. The Windows instructions are presented first, reinforcing a Windows-first bias.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux installation commands (e.g., apt-get, yum, zypper) for installing/updating the Azure Linux agent.
  • Include Linux-specific verification steps, such as checking agent version via command line (e.g., waagent --version) and relevant file paths.
  • Present Windows and Linux instructions with equal detail and in parallel, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Mention Linux troubleshooting steps or links alongside Windows troubleshooting.
  • Avoid Windows-centric language (e.g., 'right-click', 'MSI installer') without Linux equivalents.
