Summary
The documentation generally describes Azure Arc-enabled servers in a cross-platform manner, noting differences between Windows and Linux for agent services. However, the only concrete example given for extension allowlisting references Windows-specific extensions (AzureMonitorWindowsAgent, MDE.Windows) and does not provide Linux equivalents or mention how to configure for Linux scenarios. The guest configuration section references PowerShell Desired State Configuration, which is primarily a Windows technology, without discussing Linux alternatives or limitations.
Recommendations
  • Provide example allowlist configurations for Linux servers, referencing Linux-specific extensions (e.g., AzureMonitorLinuxAgent, MDE.Linux) where applicable.
  • Clarify the applicability and limitations of guest configuration policies for Linux, and mention any Linux-compatible alternatives.
  • When giving examples, include both Windows and Linux scenarios, or explicitly state when an example is Windows-only.
  • Consider referencing cross-platform tools and patterns before Windows-specific ones, or present them in parallel.
