Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific features (such as Windows security baselines) without mentioning Linux equivalents, and by omitting explicit examples or guidance for Linux virtual machines. The guest configuration section only discusses Windows baselines, and there is no mention of Linux security baselines or configuration practices. No Linux-specific tools, patterns, or examples are provided throughout the page.
Recommendations
- Include information about Linux security baselines and how guest configuration applies to Linux VMs.
- Provide explicit examples or references for both Windows and Linux VM management and configuration.
- Clarify which services and features are supported for Linux VMs, and note any differences in onboarding or configuration.
- Add links to Linux-specific documentation where appropriate (e.g., for antimalware, update management, guest configuration).
- Ensure parity in recommendations and best practices for both Windows and Linux environments.
