Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several areas. Many controls and audit recommendations specifically mention Windows VMs, Windows servers, or Windows web servers, often without equivalent Linux examples or guidance. Windows-specific tools (such as Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension) are referenced, while Linux alternatives are not discussed. In sections where both Windows and Linux could be relevant (e.g., auditing privileged accounts, secure communication protocols, antivirus deployment), Windows is mentioned explicitly and frequently, with Linux coverage either missing or much less detailed.
Recommendations
- For every control or audit recommendation that references Windows VMs or Windows servers, add equivalent guidance and examples for Linux VMs and servers.
- When mentioning Windows-specific tools (e.g., IaaSAntimalware extension), also reference popular or supported Linux alternatives (e.g., ClamAV, Linux VM extensions for antimalware).
- Ensure that audit instructions and prerequisites are provided for both Windows and Linux environments, especially in areas like privileged access, account policies, and secure communication protocols.
- Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'virtual machines' instead of 'Windows VMs') and clarify when recommendations apply to all platforms.
- Review and update sections such as event logging, endpoint protection, and secure web server configuration to include Linux-specific best practices and Azure-supported solutions.
