Summary:
The documentation page includes several references and configuration requirements specific to Windows environments, such as KMS activation for Windows VMs, Windows Update, and Windows Defender endpoints. There are no equivalent mentions or guidance for Linux VMs or Linux-specific tooling, nor are there examples or notes about Linux-specific network requirements. This creates a Windows-centric bias, with Linux scenarios and needs not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Add a section or notes addressing network requirements for Linux VMs in the VNet, such as package repository access (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS mirrors) and Linux security updates.
- Include guidance on configuring outbound rules for Linux update endpoints (e.g., security.ubuntu.com, mirrors for yum/dnf/apt) alongside Windows Update.
- If mentioning KMS for Windows, also mention any licensing or activation considerations for Linux (if applicable), or explicitly state that no such configuration is needed for Linux.
- Provide parity in examples and troubleshooting notes for both Windows and Linux VM scenarios.
- Review all references to Windows-specific tools and ensure Linux equivalents are either mentioned or the documentation clarifies when they are not required.
