Windows First Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page primarily describes enabling monitoring via the Azure portal, which is cross-platform. However, in the 'Next steps' section, deployment options are listed as Azure portal, PowerShell, Template, and Visual Studio. PowerShell and Visual Studio are Windows-centric tools, and PowerShell is mentioned before any Linux-friendly CLI options. There is no mention of Azure CLI or Bash examples, which are more common on Linux/macOS. This ordering and tool selection suggest a Windows-first and PowerShell-heavy bias.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI examples for deployment and monitoring, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux/macOS.
  • List deployment options in a neutral order, e.g., 'Azure portal, Azure CLI, PowerShell, Template, Visual Studio', to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Add explicit notes or examples for Linux/macOS users, such as using Bash or Azure CLI.
  • If Visual Studio is mentioned, consider also referencing VS Code, which is cross-platform.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use PowerShell, a Windows-centric tool, with no mention of Linux equivalents (such as Azure CLI or SSH). The workflow assumes use of RDP, which is primarily a Windows protocol, and does not provide guidance for connecting from Linux or macOS systems. The order of presentation and tooling is Windows-first, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples for enabling, updating, and connecting to Remote Desktop extensions, as Azure CLI is cross-platform.
  • Include instructions for connecting to RDP from Linux and macOS clients, such as using 'xfreerdp', 'remmina', or 'rdesktop'.
  • Mention SSH as an alternative for Linux-based role instances, if supported.
  • Balance the documentation by presenting Linux/macOS methods alongside Windows/PowerShell methods, rather than exclusively or primarily focusing on Windows.
  • Clarify any platform limitations (e.g., if RDP extension is only for Windows roles) and provide guidance for Linux roles if applicable.

Powershell Heavy 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based examples and commands for configuring the Azure Diagnostics extension. All CLI instructions use PowerShell, which is natively available only on Windows (though cross-platform PowerShell exists, it's not mentioned). There are no examples using Azure CLI, Bash, or Linux-native tools. The configuration file examples reference Windows-style performance counters and patterns. The ARM template section is platform-neutral, but all procedural guidance is Windows-centric. The 'Next steps' section lists PowerShell and Visual Studio (Windows tools) before mentioning the Azure portal and ARM templates, further reinforcing Windows-first patterns.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell commands, showing how to perform the same tasks on Linux or macOS.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform PowerShell Core if PowerShell is required, and clarify installation steps for non-Windows users.
  • Include Bash script examples for downloading configuration files and interacting with Azure resources.
  • Reference Linux performance counters and monitoring patterns in the configuration file examples, or clarify Windows-specific elements.
  • Reorder 'Next steps' to list platform-neutral options (Azure portal, ARM template) before Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio).
  • Add a section or note describing Linux/macOS support and any limitations for Cloud Services diagnostics extension management.

There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based cloud services, nor mention of Linux OS families or migration paths.
Recommendations
  • Include information about Linux-based cloud service OS families, if applicable, and clarify whether this retirement affects Linux workloads.
  • Provide equivalent discovery scripts using Azure CLI or Bash for Linux users.
  • Mention migration strategies and supported tools for Linux-based applications (e.g., using .NET Core, Java, Python, etc.).
  • List Linux OS family retirement timelines and support policies if relevant.
  • Ensure recommendations and next steps include Linux parity, such as links to Linux guest OS documentation and migration guides.
