Summary
The documentation page displays a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific features (such as audit modes for Azure security baselines in Guest Configuration) are explicitly called out as 'Windows machines only', and Windows tools like Windows Admin Center are included in the configuration profile. There are no Linux/macOS-specific examples, nor is there guidance for Linux users regarding equivalent configuration or limitations. The order and focus of features suggest Windows is the primary platform considered.
Recommendations
- Add explicit notes or sections describing Linux/macOS support and limitations for custom profiles in Azure Automanage.
- Provide examples or configuration options relevant to Linux VMs (e.g., mention supported services, clarify which features are Windows-only, and offer Linux equivalents where possible).
- Where features are Windows-only, suggest alternative approaches for Linux users or link to relevant documentation.
- Include Linux-specific configuration samples in ARM templates or portal walkthroughs, or clarify which settings are ignored/applied differently on Linux.
- Avoid listing Windows tools (e.g., Windows Admin Center) without mentioning Linux alternatives or stating their platform specificity.
