Summary
The documentation describes onboarding both Windows and Linux machines to Azure Arc via Automation Update Management, but operational details and examples (e.g., runbook job status retrieval) reference Azure PowerShell and Windows-centric tools first or exclusively. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or references to Linux-native tooling, and the runbook naming conventions (Add-UMMachinesToArcWindowsChild, Add-UMMachinesToArcLinuxChild) are mentioned, but no Linux-specific steps or screenshots are provided. The verification and troubleshooting steps are portal-centric, with no Linux CLI parity.
Recommendations
- Include Linux command-line examples for verifying agent installation and connection (e.g., using Bash, systemctl, journalctl).
- Reference Linux-native tools (such as shell scripts or CLI commands) alongside PowerShell for runbook job status retrieval.
- Provide screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux environments, not just portal-based verification.
- Explicitly mention any Linux-specific considerations or troubleshooting steps.
- Ensure that Linux onboarding steps are described with equal detail as Windows steps.
