Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows extension types are consistently used in code examples (REST, PowerShell, ARM templates), with 'DependencyAgentWindows' shown as the default even when Linux equivalents exist. PowerShell examples are prominent and use Windows-centric extension types. Linux examples are present only in CLI tabs, and Linux extension types are not shown in REST, PowerShell, or ARM template samples. Windows extension types are listed first in supported extensions and examples, and Windows tools (PowerShell) are emphasized over Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide parallel examples for both Windows and Linux extension types in all code samples (REST, PowerShell, ARM template), not just CLI.
- Alternate the order of Windows and Linux extension types in tables and examples, or group them together to avoid Windows-first presentation.
- Include Bash or shell scripting examples for Linux users where PowerShell is used.
- Explicitly mention Linux support and provide guidance for Linux-specific scenarios in enabling automatic extension upgrades.
- Clarify that CLI commands work cross-platform and highlight Linux usage where relevant.
