Summary
The documentation page provides multiple methods for installing Arc agents at scale for VMware VMs, but exhibits notable Windows bias. The primary automation script is PowerShell-based, with instructions to use Windows Task Scheduler for cron jobs, and references to Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Group Policy, Configuration Manager). Linux-specific guidance is minimal and secondary, with only a brief mention of Ansible playbooks and a sudo configuration note for Linux VMs. Windows examples and tools are presented first and in greater detail, while Linux equivalents are not equally covered.
Recommendations
  • Provide a Bash or Python-based automation script for Linux/macOS users, with equivalent functionality to the PowerShell script.
  • Include examples for scheduling automation on Linux (e.g., using cron) alongside Windows Task Scheduler instructions.
  • Expand documentation for Linux tools and patterns (e.g., using Ansible, shell scripts) for Arc agent installation at scale.
  • Ensure parity in example commands and step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
  • Mention cross-platform Azure CLI usage explicitly and provide sample commands for both OS types.
