Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias through repeated references to Windows-specific technologies and tools (e.g., Windows Firewall, Active Directory Federation Services, BitLocker), and by mentioning Windows solutions before Linux equivalents. Examples and explanations often center on Windows patterns, with Linux alternatives sometimes mentioned only as an afterthought or not at all. There is a lack of parity in examples, with no Linux command-line or tool usage shown, and Windows-centric terminology is prevalent throughout.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and command-line usage (e.g., Azure CLI on Bash, Linux firewall tools) alongside or before Windows/Powershell examples.
  • Mention Linux technologies (such as dm-crypt, iptables, SELinux, etc.) in equal detail and prominence as Windows tools like BitLocker and Windows Firewall.
  • Ensure references to identity and access management include both Windows (ADFS, Group Policy) and Linux (SSSD, LDAP, PAM) approaches.
  • Add Linux-focused troubleshooting, diagnostics, and maintenance scenarios, not just Windows-centric ones.
  • Balance terminology by using platform-neutral language where possible (e.g., 'firewall' instead of 'Windows Firewall'), and avoid assuming Windows as the default.
  • Include links to Linux documentation and best practices for Azure, not just Windows-based guides.
