Summary
The documentation, while covering both Windows and Linux scenarios, frequently presents Windows tools, requirements, and workflows before their Linux equivalents. PowerShell and Windows-specific tools are often referenced as primary management methods, with Linux alternatives mentioned secondarily or as exceptions. Some sections (e.g., domain join, prerequisites) are Windows-centric or lack Linux parity in detail. There are also more explicit and detailed instructions for Windows tasks (e.g., VM Agent installation, domain join), while Linux instructions are sometimes less detailed or presented as secondary.
Recommendations
  • Present Linux and Windows options in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or as the default.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, ensure equivalent Azure CLI or Linux-native commands are provided with equal prominence and detail.
  • Avoid language that assumes a Windows management workstation by default; clarify that both Windows and Linux can be used for management tasks.
  • For every Windows-specific example or tool, provide a Linux equivalent (e.g., for joining domains, managing VMs, configuring proxies).
  • Expand Linux sections to match the detail and clarity of Windows instructions, especially for tasks like agent installation, proxy configuration, and post-deployment steps.
  • Where a feature is 'Windows only', clarify if there is a Linux alternative or explicitly state the limitation.
  • Review and update prerequisites to reflect that Linux workstations are fully supported for management and deployment, not just as an exception.
