Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing on Windows-centric tools (Group Policy, Active Directory, Windows Firewall, RDP, registry settings) and providing examples and built-in policies exclusively for Windows servers. There is no mention of Linux equivalents (such as Linux configuration files, services, or compliance standards), nor are Linux-specific examples or policies discussed. The comparison and migration narrative centers on Windows administration patterns, leaving Linux users without guidance on parity or integration.
Recommendations
- Include examples of Azure Policy auditing and enforcing settings on Linux servers (e.g., SSH configuration, firewall rules via iptables/firewalld, password policies in /etc/login.defs).
- Reference Linux equivalents to Windows tools (such as systemd, PAM, auditd) when discussing policy enforcement and compliance.
- Highlight built-in Azure Policy machine configuration policies for Linux, if available, and provide links or examples.
- Discuss how Azure Policy interacts with Linux configuration management tools (e.g., Ansible, Chef, or native DSC for Linux).
- Balance the narrative by describing hybrid environments that include both Windows and Linux servers, and how Azure Policy supports both.
