Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All examples, instructions, and screenshots are based on Windows tools (Configuration Manager, .msi installers, PowerShell scripts). There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents, nor guidance for deploying the Connected Machine Agent at scale on non-Windows platforms. The use of PowerShell and .msi files further excludes Linux users, and the workflow is entirely centered on Windows-specific deployment patterns.
Recommendations
- Add a dedicated section for Linux/macOS onboarding at scale, including supported automation tools (e.g., Ansible, shell scripts, Linux package managers).
- Provide examples for downloading and installing the Connected Machine Agent on Linux (e.g., using .deb/.rpm packages, wget/curl commands).
- Include sample task automation scripts for Linux (e.g., Bash, Python) and show how to connect to Azure Arc from Linux using azcmagent.
- Clarify whether Configuration Manager supports Linux/macOS endpoints for this scenario, or recommend alternative management solutions for non-Windows platforms.
- Present both Windows and Linux workflows side-by-side or in parallel sections to ensure parity.
