Summary
The documentation claims support for both Windows and Linux Arc-enabled servers, but the majority of examples and guidance are heavily skewed toward Windows and PowerShell. PowerShell is used as the primary scripting language in both Azure PowerShell and Azure CLI examples, and REST API samples exclusively use Windows-specific cmdlets (e.g., New-NetFirewallRule) and reference Windows Server resources. There are no Linux shell script examples, and Windows tools (such as New-AzStorageBlobSASToken) are referenced without Linux equivalents. This creates friction for Linux users and makes it unclear how to use the feature with Linux servers.
Recommendations
  • Add Linux-focused examples throughout, especially in the Azure CLI and REST API sections. For example, show how to run a Bash script (e.g., 'echo Hello World' or 'id') on a Linux Arc-enabled server.
  • In REST API examples, provide at least one scenario using a Linux server (e.g., running a shell script to update packages or configure iptables).
  • When referencing tools for generating SAS tokens or managing blobs, mention cross-platform or CLI alternatives (e.g., Azure CLI 'az storage blob generate-sas') and not just PowerShell cmdlets.
  • When describing parameter passing, clarify the differences for Linux (e.g., how environment variables or arguments are handled in Bash scripts).
  • Ensure that Linux and Windows examples are presented with parity and, where possible, alternate the order or group them together.
