Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell, specifically referencing Windows PowerShell 5.1, PowerSTIG (a PowerShell-based tool), and DSC (Desired State Configuration) in a Windows context. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or guidance, and all instructions and references are tailored to Windows environments. Linux is only mentioned in passing, with no substantive content or parity in examples.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Linux examples and workflows for configuring STIG baselines, such as using Linux DSC agents or other configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, or native Linux DSC).
- Provide explicit instructions or references for onboarding and managing Linux machines with Azure Automation State Configuration.
- Mention and link to Linux-specific resources, modules, or community projects that help achieve STIG compliance.
- Clarify in the introduction whether the guidance is Windows-only or provide a parallel section for Linux users.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, or at least acknowledge the current limitations for Linux.
