Summary
The documentation presents recommendations for both Linux and Windows images, but there is evidence of Windows bias. Some security checks under the 'Linux and open source OS images' section reference Windows Server roles and features, which are not applicable to Linux. Windows-specific tools like BitLocker are mentioned for Windows images, while Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt/LUKS) are not referenced. Additionally, certain recommendations (e.g., auto-update for security patches) are detailed for Windows but lack Linux-specific guidance or examples. The order of presentation sometimes places Windows concepts before Linux ones, and some Linux recommendations are less detailed or lack parity with Windows examples.
Recommendations
- Remove references to Windows Server roles and features from the Linux checklist, or clarify that these are Windows-specific.
- Add Linux equivalents for Windows-specific tools, such as recommending dm-crypt/LUKS for disk encryption.
- Provide Linux-specific guidance for auto-updating security patches (e.g., using unattended-upgrades or dnf-automatic).
- Ensure that recommendations for both platforms are equally detailed and include platform-appropriate examples.
- Review the order and phrasing to avoid implying Windows-first approaches in sections meant for Linux.
