Windows First
Missing Linux Example
Summary
The documentation generally describes Azure native services in a platform-neutral way, but when discussing enabling guest management and installing extensions, it provides explicit Linux instructions only in a note about sudo configuration, while omitting any Windows-specific steps or examples. The Log Analytics agent is described as monitoring Windows registry and files and Linux daemons, but no concrete Linux or Windows command-line examples are given. The order of mention and examples tends to favor Windows (e.g., 'Windows registry and files, and Linux daemons'), and Linux instructions are presented as an exception rather than a primary workflow.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit, step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux VMs when enabling guest management and installing extensions.
- Include examples of common Windows and Linux commands for agent installation and troubleshooting.
- Present Windows and Linux workflows in parallel, rather than treating Linux as an exception.
- Clarify any differences in extension support or prerequisites for Windows vs. Linux VMs.
- Add links to platform-specific documentation for both Windows and Linux.
