Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Microsoft-centric tools, services, and patterns throughout, such as the Security Development Lifecycle (SDL), PowerShell, and Windows-specific links. Examples and guidance are almost exclusively oriented toward Microsoft technologies, with little to no mention of Linux equivalents, open-source alternatives, or cross-platform best practices. Windows terminology and tools are presented first or exclusively, and there is a lack of Linux-specific examples or guidance for Azure security practices.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific security practices and examples for Azure, such as using SSH, Linux-based identity management, and open-source security tools.
- Provide parity in tool recommendations, e.g., mention Bash, Linux CLI, and cross-platform SDKs alongside PowerShell.
- Reference open-source threat modeling tools and frameworks in addition to Microsoft SDL Threat Modeling Tool.
- Add links to documentation for securing Linux VMs and applications on Azure, including guidance for SELinux, AppArmor, and Linux firewall configuration.
- Ensure that examples and code snippets are provided for both Windows and Linux environments, especially for authentication, logging, and key management.
- Highlight Azure services and features that are platform-agnostic, and clarify when guidance applies equally to Linux and Windows.
