Summary
The documentation page provides multiple methods for installing Arc agents at scale for VMware VMs, but there is notable Windows bias. The auto-enablement script is PowerShell-based, with instructions and examples exclusively for Windows (e.g., Set-ExecutionPolicy, Windows Task Scheduler). There are no equivalent Linux shell or cron job examples. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, Task Scheduler) are mentioned before Linux alternatives, and Linux-specific guidance is limited to a brief sudo configuration note. Out-of-band methods mention Ansible, but most scripted automation is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Provide a Bash or shell script version of the auto-enablement script for Linux/macOS users, with usage instructions.
  • Include examples for scheduling the script as a cron job on Linux, not just Windows Task Scheduler.
  • Offer guidance for running the PowerShell script on Linux (using PowerShell Core), or clarify limitations.
  • Ensure parity in examples for both Windows and Linux, especially in automation and at-scale deployment scenarios.
  • Highlight any differences or prerequisites for Linux/macOS environments (e.g., script execution, authentication).
