Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Microsoft Configuration Manager and Windows Installer (.msi) packages. All examples, instructions, and screenshots pertain to Windows tools and workflows, with exclusive use of PowerShell scripts and no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents or alternative deployment methods. There are no instructions or examples for onboarding Linux/macOS machines at scale using Configuration Manager or other cross-platform tools.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for deploying the Connected Machine Agent to Linux/macOS devices, including supported agent packages (e.g., .deb, .rpm) and command-line installation steps.
- Provide examples using Bash scripts or other Linux-native automation tools for connecting to Azure Arc.
- Clarify whether Configuration Manager supports Linux/macOS onboarding at scale, and if not, suggest alternative cross-platform solutions (such as Ansible, Puppet, or Azure Automation).
- Include screenshots and workflow steps for Linux/macOS environments where applicable.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and link to Linux/macOS onboarding documentation if this workflow is Windows-only.
