Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by presenting Windows-specific instructions, tools, and screenshots before Linux equivalents. Windows examples are detailed with PowerShell commands, screenshots, and explicit tool references (e.g., diskpart, Windows Azure Guest Agent), while Linux sections are less detailed, with fewer explicit command examples and no screenshots. Linux instructions often refer users to external documentation for distribution-specific steps, and some manual steps for Linux are described only in general terms or for specific distributions (e.g., RedHat), leaving out parity for other Linux distributions.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux command-line examples for all manual steps, similar to the detailed PowerShell examples given for Windows.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output for key Linux steps (e.g., checking waagent status, editing network configuration files).
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or side-by-side, rather than always listing Windows first.
  • Expand Linux instructions to cover a broader range of distributions, not just RedHat (e.g., include Ubuntu/Debian equivalents for network and initrd steps).
  • Reference Linux tools/utilities (e.g., systemctl, nmcli, update-initramfs) explicitly where appropriate, just as Windows tools are referenced.
  • Ensure that all steps described for Windows (such as agent installation verification) have clear, equivalent Linux instructions.
