Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 VMs managed by SCVMM, with all examples, terminology, and processes centered around Windows environments. Windows-specific tools (SCVMM, WSUS, Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager) are mentioned exclusively or before alternatives, and there are no Linux/macOS examples or guidance for non-Windows VMs. The documentation does not address how Linux or macOS VMs could participate in ESU delivery or management through Arc in this scenario.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation that the process is specific to Windows Server 2012/2012 R2 and SCVMM-managed VMs, and explicitly state that Linux/macOS VMs are not supported for ESU delivery in this workflow.
- If Azure Arc supports similar patching or management workflows for Linux/macOS VMs, provide links or references to those workflows for parity.
- When listing patch management solutions, mention Linux-compatible options (e.g., Ansible, Chef, native Linux update tools) and clarify their applicability.
- Consider adding a section or FAQ addressing Linux/macOS scenarios, even if only to state their exclusion and suggest alternatives.
