Summary:
The documentation generally describes Azure native monitoring and management services in a platform-neutral way, but there is a subtle Windows bias. Windows-specific monitoring details (such as registry and files) are mentioned before Linux equivalents (daemons), and there are no concrete Linux command-line examples for installing or managing extensions. The only Linux-specific guidance is a workaround for sudo prompts, but no Linux-centric monitoring or management workflows are detailed.
Recommendations:
- Provide explicit Linux examples for installing and managing extensions, such as using the Azure CLI or relevant Linux commands.
- List Linux monitoring capabilities (e.g., log collection from syslog, journald, or specific Linux services) alongside Windows features, and not as an afterthought.
- Include Linux-first or at least parallel instructions and screenshots where possible, especially for common tasks like enabling guest management or configuring agents.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, cron, logrotate) where relevant, to ensure Linux administrators see their environment reflected.
- Ensure that documentation sections describing monitoring or management features do not default to Windows terminology or order (e.g., mention Linux daemons before or alongside Windows registry/files).
