Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools (WSUS, SCCM) are referenced first and exclusively as traditional patch management solutions, with no mention of Linux equivalents (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, Landscape, Spacewalk). Hotpatching is described only for Windows Server, with no Linux hotpatching discussion. Examples and analogies throughout the page use Windows-centric terminology and patterns, and there are no concrete Linux workflow examples or scripts. Linux support is acknowledged, but details are sparse and secondary.
Recommendations
- Include references to traditional Linux patch management tools (e.g., apt, yum, dnf, Landscape, Spacewalk) alongside WSUS/SCCM in introductory sections.
- Provide concrete Linux patching workflow examples, such as using Azure Update Manager to patch Ubuntu or RHEL servers, with sample commands or scripts.
- Clarify whether features like hotpatching or granular patch sequencing are available for Linux, and if not, explicitly state limitations.
- Balance analogies and examples so that Linux scenarios are presented with equal detail and prominence as Windows scenarios.
- Add a table or section comparing Windows and Linux feature parity for Azure Update Manager.
