Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples are provided in PowerShell, and the only automation scripts use Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Azure CLI in PowerShell context). There are no Linux shell (bash) equivalents or references to Linux-specific usage patterns. The documentation assumes the use of the 'self-hosted integration runtime client', which is a Windows application, and does not mention Linux installation, management, or monitoring options. Windows tools and patterns are presented exclusively and before any mention (if any) of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent bash (Linux shell) command examples for all PowerShell scripts, especially for Azure CLI usage.
  • Explicitly mention whether the self-hosted integration runtime supports Linux, and if so, provide Linux installation and management instructions.
  • If the integration runtime is Windows-only, clarify this early in the documentation to set user expectations.
  • Include screenshots or instructions for Linux environments, if supported.
  • Avoid assuming the use of Windows tools (e.g., PowerShell, Windows client UI) as the only management method; reference cross-platform tools where possible.
