Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and features (e.g., PowerShell, IIS, Windows 10, BitLocker, SQL Server, Microsoft Authenticator) are mentioned frequently and often before or instead of Linux equivalents. Examples and instructions (such as enabling Azure Key Vault integration for SQL Server VMs) reference Azure PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-centric features, with little or no mention of Linux-specific commands or tools. Some features (e.g., Microsoft Entra join, BitLocker recovery) are described as Windows-only, and diagnostic instructions focus on IIS and Windows web server diagnostics. Linux support is acknowledged in some places (e.g., Azure Disk Encryption for Linux VMs, Defender for Servers for Linux), but Linux-specific guidance and examples are generally sparse or absent.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for security configuration, diagnostics, and automation (e.g., show Bash/CLI commands, Linux web server diagnostics, Linux authentication tools).
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as SSH, SELinux, iptables, auditd, systemd, etc.) where relevant, and explain how Azure integrates with or supports these.
- Ensure parity in feature descriptions: if a feature is Windows-only (e.g., BitLocker, Microsoft Entra join), clearly state Linux alternatives or limitations.
- Include references to Linux documentation and best practices for Azure security, such as links to securing Linux VMs, using Linux-based firewalls, and integrating with Linux identity providers.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally (e.g., do not always mention Windows first; alternate or group by OS where appropriate).
