Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas. Windows technologies, tools, and terminology are often mentioned first or exclusively, such as Hyper-V, BitLocker, Windows Firewall, and Windows-specific security features. Powershell and Windows portal are frequently referenced as primary management interfaces, with Linux alternatives mentioned later or not at all. Some technical explanations (e.g., Drawbridge, Hypervisor, security mitigations) are deeply rooted in Windows architecture, and Linux-specific details are sometimes missing or less detailed.
Recommendations
- Ensure that Linux examples and tools (e.g., Azure CLI, SSH, Linux firewall, DM-Crypt) are presented alongside or before Windows equivalents, especially in code snippets, configuration, and management instructions.
- Provide balanced coverage of both Windows and Linux in technical explanations, including equal detail on Linux-based isolation, security, and encryption mechanisms.
- Avoid using Windows-centric terminology as the default; use cross-platform or neutral terms where possible.
- When referencing management interfaces (portal, PowerShell, CLI), always include Azure CLI and Linux-native tools in parallel with Windows/PowerShell.
- Expand sections on Linux-specific technologies (e.g., DM-Crypt, iptables, SELinux/AppArmor, SSH) to match the depth given to Windows technologies.
- Review all tables, figures, and callouts to ensure Linux is equally represented in security guidance and best practices.
