Summary
The documentation page demonstrates mild Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and documentation (e.g., PowerShell, Windows TLS registry settings) are referenced before or more prominently than Linux equivalents. Examples for discovering supported images mention PowerShell first, and Windows-specific security configuration guidance is detailed, while Linux-specific instructions are absent. There is a lack of parity in examples and references for Linux users, especially regarding OS-level security settings and CLI tooling.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and references alongside Windows ones, such as using Bash or Azure CLI for supported image queries.
- Include guidance for configuring SSL/TLS and cipher suites on Linux distributions, referencing relevant documentation (e.g., OpenSSL, systemd, or distro-specific guides).
- When mentioning PowerShell, also mention Azure CLI and Bash alternatives for common tasks.
- Ensure that security configuration instructions (e.g., OS patching, TLS settings) are provided for both Windows and Linux, with links to authoritative Linux documentation.
- Avoid listing Windows tools or instructions before Linux equivalents unless there is a technical reason; strive for parallel presentation.
