Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific features (such as Microsoft Antimalware and Windows Admin Center) and providing customization options only for Windows machines (e.g., audit modes for Azure security baselines in Guest Configuration). There are no Linux-specific examples, features, or equivalent configuration options mentioned, and Linux support/parity is not addressed.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state which features are supported for Linux VMs and provide equivalent Linux configuration options where possible.
- Include Linux-specific examples or notes, especially for features that differ between Windows and Linux (e.g., antimalware, security baselines, monitoring agents).
- If certain features are Windows-only, clearly indicate this and suggest alternative approaches or tools for Linux users.
- Add examples or documentation links for configuring Automanage profiles for Linux VMs, including supported services and settings.
- Review and update ARM template examples to include Linux-relevant configuration options or clarify which settings apply to Linux.
