Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell Desired State Configuration as the sole example for guest configuration policies, using Windows account names and SIDs before mentioning Linux equivalents, and providing extension allowlist examples that only reference Windows extensions. There are no Linux-specific configuration or extension examples, and the documentation does not mention Linux equivalents for PowerShell DSC or monitoring/defender extensions.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for guest configuration policies, such as using Ansible or native Linux configuration management tools.
- Provide extension allowlist examples for common Linux monitoring and security extensions (e.g., AzureMonitorLinuxAgent, MDE.Linux).
- Mention Linux account and service management patterns before or alongside Windows equivalents.
- Clarify whether guest configuration policies can be authored and enforced using Linux-native tools, and provide guidance for Linux administrators.
- Ensure that all CLI examples and extension references include both Windows and Linux variants where applicable.
