Summary
The documentation is mostly platform-neutral, but it contains a note specifically about Windows nodes: AKS reserves an extra 2 GB for system processes in Windows nodes, which is not part of the calculated memory. No equivalent details or examples are provided for Linux nodes, nor are Linux-specific behaviors or caveats mentioned. The documentation does not provide examples or instructions that are exclusive to Windows or PowerShell, but the only OS-specific detail is about Windows.
Recommendations
- Add a corresponding note for Linux nodes, describing any OS-level reservations or differences in resource allocation, if applicable.
- Clarify whether the extra 2 GB reservation for system processes is unique to Windows or if Linux nodes have a similar (or different) reservation.
- If there are Linux-specific resource reservation behaviors, document them explicitly.
- Ensure parity in OS-specific notes so Linux/macOS users have clear expectations.
