Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows tools and terminology (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows Defender, WSUS) are referenced more frequently and often before Linux equivalents. Many examples and instructions (such as disk encryption, backup, and key management) use Windows-centric tools or PowerShell commands without providing Linux CLI or cross-platform alternatives. Some sections (e.g., monitoring, diagnostics, antimalware) mention Windows-specific solutions or extensions first, and Linux options are either mentioned later or omitted. There is a lack of parity in examples and actionable guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and commands alongside Windows ones, such as Bash/CLI equivalents for PowerShell cmdlets.
  • Mention Linux tools and solutions (e.g., ClamAV, Linux-native monitoring agents) with equal prominence and detail as Windows tools.
  • Ensure that instructions for features like disk encryption, backup, and diagnostics include both Windows and Linux workflows, with links to relevant documentation.
  • Avoid using Windows terminology (e.g., WSUS, Windows Update) without clarifying Linux equivalents (e.g., apt/yum/dnf update mechanisms).
  • Structure sections so that Windows and Linux guidance are presented in parallel, rather than Windows-first ordering.
  • Include cross-platform best practices and highlight any Azure features that work identically for both OS types.
