Summary
The documentation is primarily focused on using the Azure Portal, which is cross-platform, but in the 'Install the VM agent' section, Windows instructions are given in detailed, step-by-step fashion (including download links, file paths, and verification steps), while Linux instructions are brief and lack concrete command examples. Windows instructions are listed first, and Linux instructions are less actionable for users unfamiliar with package management.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples for installing/updating the Azure Linux agent (e.g., apt/yum commands).
  • Include verification steps for Linux agent installation, such as checking agent version via command line.
  • Consider listing Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Clarify which steps are identical across platforms and which differ, to help users on macOS/Linux.
