Summary
The release notes for Azure Connected Machine agent generally provide parity between Windows and Linux, with download links and feature tables for both platforms. However, Windows examples and tools (such as PowerShell and MSI installer instructions) are often mentioned first or exclusively, especially in installation and troubleshooting sections. Some improvements and bug fixes reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell scripts, MSI installer, GUI application) without Linux equivalents or guidance. The known issues section provides detailed Windows installer instructions but lacks similar troubleshooting for Linux RPM/DEB installers.
Recommendations
  • Ensure troubleshooting and installation instructions are provided for Linux (RPM/DEB) installers, not just Windows MSI.
  • When referencing Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, msiexec), also mention Linux equivalents (e.g., shell commands for RPM/DEB installs).
  • Present download links and feature tables with Linux and Windows side-by-side, rather than Windows first.
  • Where improvements reference Windows-specific scripts (e.g., ExtensionCleanup.ps1), clarify if Linux has an equivalent or explicitly state if not applicable.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting guidance for common installer issues, similar to the Windows installer section.
