Summary
The documentation demonstrates a mild Windows bias. In several sections, Windows-specific instructions or tools are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and examples (such as the script reference) are Azure PowerShell-centric. While Linux is referenced, it is often as an afterthought (e.g., 'On Linux VMs, refer to distributor guidance'), and there are no concrete Linux command-line examples or step-by-step instructions. The documentation also references Windows Update specifically, but for Linux, only generic advice is given. There are no Linux CLI or shell script examples for bulk operations, and the on-premises backup section implicitly assumes Windows (MARS agent), with no mention of Linux backup agents.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel Linux-focused examples and instructions wherever Windows-specific steps are given (e.g., include Bash/Azure CLI scripts alongside PowerShell).
  • When referencing OS-specific maintenance (like updating certificates), give concrete Linux commands or point to official distro documentation.
  • In bulk scripting examples, include both PowerShell and Bash/Azure CLI equivalents.
  • In on-premises backup sections, mention and link to Linux backup agent documentation if available, or clarify Windows-only applicability.
  • Avoid always listing Windows steps first; alternate or group by OS where appropriate.
