Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Microsoft Configuration Manager and Windows Installer (.msi) packages. All examples and instructions use Windows tools and PowerShell scripts, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents. There are no instructions or examples for deploying the Connected Machine Agent on non-Windows platforms, nor guidance for Linux-based automation or task sequencing.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for deploying the Connected Machine Agent on Linux machines, including supported package formats (e.g., .deb, .rpm) and automation tools (such as Ansible, shell scripts, or native Linux management solutions).
- Provide Linux/macOS command-line examples for agent installation and onboarding to Azure Arc.
- Clarify whether Configuration Manager supports Linux/macOS devices and, if not, link to alternative at-scale onboarding methods for those platforms.
- Include PowerShell alternatives (such as Bash scripts) for connecting Linux machines to Azure Arc.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and direct users to cross-platform guides where available.
