Summary

The documentation page is heavily focused on Azure Stack HCI and System Center Virtual Machine Manager (ScVmm), both of which are Windows-centric technologies. All role definitions and permissions revolve around managing Windows-based infrastructure, with no mention of Linux-specific tools, resources, or examples. There are no Linux or cross-platform equivalents referenced, and the documentation assumes a Windows environment by default.

Recommendations

Include explicit notes on Linux support or limitations for each role, especially where only Windows technologies (e.g., ScVmm, Azure Stack HCI) are supported.
Add examples or references for managing hybrid/multicloud Linux resources, if supported, or clarify if these roles are Windows-only.
Provide parity by listing any Linux-focused roles or permissions (such as for Linux VMs managed via Azure Arc) if available.
Link to documentation for Linux management in hybrid/multicloud scenarios, or clarify the scope is Windows-only if that's the case.
If possible, add a section comparing Windows and Linux management capabilities in Azure hybrid/multicloud environments.
