Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell code samples and references to Windows-centric tools and file paths (e.g., C:\), with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. All examples assume a Windows environment and do not address how to enable or configure Microsoft Antimalware on Linux-based Azure VMs or environments. The documentation also references Windows-specific configuration formats (XML with Windows paths/processes) and does not offer parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add Bash/CLI examples for deploying and configuring Antimalware on Linux-based Azure VMs.
- Clarify whether Microsoft Antimalware is supported on Linux, and if not, suggest equivalent solutions (e.g., Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux).
- Include instructions for using Azure CLI and ARM templates in a cross-platform manner, not just via PowerShell.
- Provide configuration examples that use Linux file paths and processes, or note differences in exclusion syntax for Linux.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and direct Linux users to relevant documentation or tools.
