Summary
The documentation presents several onboarding methods for the Azure Connected Machine agent, with both Linux and Windows options. However, PowerShell-based methods are highlighted prominently, and Windows-specific tools (Windows Admin Center, Group Policy, Configuration Manager) are listed in dedicated sections. Windows methods are shown first in the 'at scale' section, and Linux-specific automation tools (e.g., Ansible) are mentioned but not emphasized equally. There is a notable focus on Windows tooling and scripting, which may create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and automation methods (e.g., Bash scripts, systemd, cron) alongside PowerShell.
- Ensure that Linux onboarding methods (such as Ansible, shell scripts) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows methods.
- Add links or references to Linux-native tools for at-scale deployment (e.g., Puppet, Chef, SaltStack) if supported.
- Clarify which methods are best suited for Linux environments and provide step-by-step guides for Linux users.
- Consider reordering the table or grouping methods by OS type to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
