Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux instructions for managing the Azure Connected Machine agent, but Windows examples and tools (such as PowerShell scripts, Microsoft Update, Group Policy, and Msiexec) are often presented first or in greater detail. The cleanup script for stale resources is only provided in PowerShell, with no Linux/bash equivalent. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Control Panel, Registry Editor, Group Policy) are described in depth, while Linux instructions are more concise and rely on standard package managers. Overall, Linux parity is good for core agent operations, but automation and scripting examples favor Windows.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent bash or shell scripts for Linux users, especially for tasks like cleaning up stale Arc-enabled server resources.
- Where possible, present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel, rather than Windows-first.
- Expand Linux sections to include troubleshooting tips and automation examples similar to those provided for Windows.
- Include references to Linux-native tools for managing updates and configuration (e.g., cron jobs, systemd services) where relevant.
- Clarify when a method is Windows-only and offer Linux alternatives if available.
