Summary
The documentation page provides deployment options for the Azure Connected Machine agent across both Linux and Windows platforms. However, there is a noticeable bias toward Windows, with PowerShell-based onboarding methods highlighted (including at scale), Windows-specific tools (Windows Admin Center, Configuration Manager, Group Policy) receiving dedicated sections, and Windows-only methods listed after the cross-platform options. Linux-specific automation tools (such as Ansible) are mentioned, but PowerShell is presented as a cross-platform method, despite its stronger association with Windows. No Linux-first or Linux-only onboarding methods (e.g., Bash scripts, cloud-init, or native Linux tools) are described in detail or given equal prominence.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux-specific onboarding examples and methods, such as Bash scripts, shell commands, or cloud-init for at-scale deployments.
- Clarify which PowerShell methods are truly cross-platform and provide equivalent Linux command-line examples where possible.
- Ensure Linux automation tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef) are given equal prominence and detail as Windows tools.
- Consider listing Linux and Windows methods in parallel or alternating order to avoid 'windows_first' bias.
- Provide links to Linux-specific documentation or walkthroughs for onboarding.
