Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows VM extension troubleshooting, with most examples, error messages, and solutions tailored to Windows environments. PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tools (Task Manager, Control Panel, certmgr.msc) are used exclusively or presented first, while Linux troubleshooting steps and examples are minimal or absent. Linux users may find it difficult to follow some procedures due to lack of equivalent instructions.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting examples and commands (e.g., using Bash, systemctl, journalctl, etc.) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Present Azure CLI commands before or alongside PowerShell to ensure cross-platform parity.
- Include Linux error messages and log file locations with sample outputs.
- Provide Linux equivalents for Windows tools (e.g., how to restart the Linux Guest Agent, check environment variables, manage certificates).
- Clearly separate Windows and Linux instructions, or provide parallel sections for each OS.
