Summary
The documentation covers both Windows and Linux support for Azure Change Tracking and Inventory, but several sections show Windows bias. Registry key tracking is exclusively Windows-focused, with no mention of Linux equivalents (such as tracking changes to configuration files or systemd units). Windows terminology and tools (registry, Windows services) are mentioned first or exclusively, while Linux-specific examples (e.g., tracking changes to /etc files or Linux daemons) are not provided. There are no PowerShell-heavy examples, but the lack of Linux-specific guidance and examples creates friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and explanations for tracking Linux-specific changes, such as monitoring /etc configuration files, systemd service units, or other relevant Linux artifacts.
  • Provide parity in examples: when showing Windows registry tracking, also show how Linux configuration changes are tracked.
  • Clarify which features are Windows-only and which are cross-platform, to set user expectations.
  • Include screenshots or walkthroughs for Linux scenarios, not just Windows.
  • Mention Linux tools and terminology (e.g., systemd, init scripts, config files) alongside Windows tools.
