Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific technologies and examples (e.g., ASP.NET, WCF, SQL Server Management Studio, ServicePointManager, web.config/URL Rewrite), referencing Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Data Management Gateway, SMB 3.x with Windows clients), and omitting Linux or cross-platform equivalents in code samples and configuration guidance. Most code and configuration examples are .NET/C#, with no mention of Linux command-line, OpenSSL, NGINX/Apache, or other non-Windows approaches. Windows terminology and references (e.g., 'Windows Azure', 'Windows Phone', 'SQL Server Management Studio', 'web.config') are used throughout, and Linux alternatives are not provided or discussed.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific examples for configuring HTTPS, certificate validation, and HSTS (e.g., using NGINX, Apache, OpenSSL).
- Include cross-platform code samples (e.g., Python, Java, Node.js) for certificate pinning and HTTPS enforcement.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd service accounts, Linux SMB clients, Linux SQL clients) alongside Windows ones.
- Provide parity in configuration instructions (e.g., show how to enforce HTTPS using NGINX/Apache config, not just web.config/URL Rewrite).
- Mention and link to documentation for Linux equivalents (e.g., Azure Files SMB support for Linux, SQL Server connection encryption from Linux clients).
- Avoid using Windows terminology exclusively (e.g., 'Windows Azure', 'Windows Phone') and clarify cross-platform applicability.
