Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows/Azure-centric bias by exclusively referencing Azure portal UI workflows, Azure CLI commands, and Azure Fileshare for storage operations, all of which are primarily oriented toward Windows or Azure environments. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-native workflows (e.g., using SCP, rsync, or Linux shell commands for uploading files), nor are there any mentions of Linux-specific tools or patterns for deploying or managing the agent. The documentation assumes the user is operating within the Azure ecosystem, which is more closely aligned with Windows environments.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-native command-line examples for uploading the Elastic APM Java Agent to persistent storage (e.g., using azcopy, scp, or rsync from a Linux shell).
  • Include alternative instructions for users managing deployments from Linux or macOS environments, such as using Bash scripts or Linux CLI tools.
  • Mention cross-platform considerations explicitly, clarifying that the Azure CLI and related commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and provide any OS-specific caveats.
  • Add screenshots or text-based examples that show how to perform key steps (such as uploading files) using Linux command-line tools, not just the Azure portal UI.
  • Where possible, provide parity in automation examples (e.g., show how to automate with shell scripts or Linux-native CI/CD tools in addition to Azure-native templates).
