Summary
The documentation page for creating a custom profile in Azure Automanage for VMs demonstrates a mild Windows bias. It references Windows-specific features (such as Windows Admin Center and audit modes for Azure security baselines in Guest Configuration 'for Windows machines only'), and includes configuration options that are only applicable to Windows VMs. There are no explicit Linux/macOS examples, nor is there mention of Linux-specific configuration options or differences. The ARM template and portal instructions are generic, but the only OS-specific customization called out is for Windows.
Recommendations
- Add explicit notes or examples for Linux VM configuration, including any differences in supported services or settings.
- Clarify which features are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, ideally providing parity or alternatives for Linux.
- Include Linux/macOS-specific configuration options in the ARM template documentation if available.
- If certain features (e.g., Guest Configuration audit modes) are not available for Linux, state this clearly and suggest Linux equivalents where possible.
