Summary
The documentation page generally avoids OS-specific examples and maintains a neutral tone regarding platform usage. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the 'FIPS 140 validated cryptography' section, where Windows and Windows-specific validation programs are mentioned before Linux, and links are provided to Windows FIPS validation documentation. Azure's use of both Linux and Windows is acknowledged, but Windows tools and validation are referenced first and in more detail, with no equivalent Linux validation documentation or examples provided.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention and link to Linux FIPS 140 validation resources, if available, alongside Windows references.
  • Provide parity in documentation by describing how FIPS 140 validated cryptographic modules are implemented and validated on Linux within Azure.
  • Ensure that any references to OS-specific features, tools, or validation programs are presented in parallel (e.g., 'Windows and Linux FIPS validation programs'), with equal detail and links.
  • If examples or operational guidance are given, include both Windows and Linux scenarios to avoid implicit prioritization.
