Summary
The documentation provides both Windows and Linux options for connecting hybrid machines to Azure Arc, but exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows tools (PowerShell) are emphasized, examples and notes often mention Windows before Linux, and PowerShell-specific instructions are detailed. Linux instructions are present but sometimes less prominent, and Linux-specific automation or troubleshooting is not covered in equal depth.
Recommendations
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux instructions/examples throughout the documentation to avoid Windows-first presentation.
- Provide Linux-specific automation and troubleshooting guidance, including common errors and solutions for Linux environments.
- Expand on Linux command-line usage, such as using Bash scripts or Ansible for at-scale onboarding, not just referencing .sh scripts.
- Ensure parity in example outputs and screenshots for both Windows and Linux onboarding processes.
- Include references to Linux-native tools and package managers (e.g., apt, yum) where appropriate, not just PowerShell or Windows tools.
