Summary
The documentation page presents examples and scenarios that reference Windows-centric management tools (e.g., Group Policy Objects, WSUS) and patterns before or instead of Linux equivalents. There are no explicit Linux management tool examples (such as Ansible, Chef, or Linux-native patching/configuration systems), nor are Linux-specific onboarding or verification steps mentioned. This creates a subtle bias toward Windows environments, even though Azure Arc supports both Windows and Linux servers.
Recommendations
  • Include examples of onboarding and managing Linux servers with Azure Arc, such as referencing Linux distributions, package managers, or configuration tools.
  • When discussing phased adoption, mention Linux-native patching tools (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) and how Azure Update Manager integrates with them.
  • Provide parallel examples for resource organization and compliance, such as using Linux tagging conventions or integration with Linux security policies.
  • Reference automation and remediation using Linux shell scripts or configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, Puppet) alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly state that Azure Arc supports both Windows and Linux servers, and link to Linux-specific guidance where available.
