Summary
The documentation introduces Azure Machine Configuration as a PowerShell Desired State Configuration-based tool, which may suggest a Windows-first approach. Windows Admin Center (WAC) is described as a key remote management scenario, with detailed role assignments and workflow, while Linux remote access is covered primarily through SSH. The documentation provides more detail and context for Windows tools and workflows (WAC, PowerShell DSC) than for Linux equivalents, and Windows terminology and examples appear before Linux ones.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux configuration management examples, such as integration with Ansible or Chef, if supported.
- Include Linux-first or cross-platform examples for compliance and configuration, not just PowerShell DSC.
- Expand the SSH section to include more details about Linux-specific workflows, troubleshooting, and best practices.
- Clarify that PowerShell DSC is not required for Linux machines, and mention any Linux-native alternatives if available.
- Balance the coverage of Windows Admin Center with information about Linux management tools or clarify that WAC is Windows-only.
