Summary
The documentation page presents a notable Windows bias in its automation examples and tooling. The primary automation script is a PowerShell (.ps1) script, and instructions for running it reference PowerShell terminals and Windows Task Scheduler for cron-like automation. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Task Scheduler) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents. While Linux is referenced in prerequisites and out-of-band methods (e.g., Ansible), there are no Linux shell script examples or guidance for running the automation at scale on Linux/macOS. The bias creates friction for Linux/macOS users who wish to automate Arc agent installation at scale.
Recommendations
- Provide a Bash/shell script equivalent for the PowerShell automation script, or document how to run the PowerShell script on Linux/macOS (e.g., via PowerShell Core).
- Include instructions for scheduling the automation on Linux (e.g., using cron) alongside Windows Task Scheduler examples.
- Offer Linux/macOS terminal usage examples for running the script, not just PowerShell.
- Ensure parity in examples for both Windows and Linux, especially for scale operations.
- Clarify if the provided PowerShell script is cross-platform (PowerShell Core), and if not, offer a Linux-compatible alternative.
