Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric tools (Group Policy, Active Directory, RSoP, gpresult), providing examples and built-in policies only for Windows scenarios (e.g., password complexity, Windows Firewall), and omitting explicit Linux examples or equivalent Linux tools. The discussion of policy enforcement and auditing is framed almost exclusively in terms of Windows server management, with no mention of Linux-specific settings, compliance scenarios, or how Azure Policy applies to Linux servers.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples of Azure Policy auditing and enforcement for Linux servers, such as checking SSH configuration, file permissions, or Linux firewall (iptables/nftables) rules.
- Reference Linux equivalents to Windows tools (e.g., mention how compliance can be checked via tools like auditd, or configuration managed via Ansible/Puppet/Chef alongside DSC).
- Include built-in policy examples for Linux, such as enforcing password policies in /etc/login.defs, ensuring SELinux/AppArmor is enabled, or auditing systemd service status.
- Balance the discussion by describing how Azure Policy interacts with both Windows and Linux servers, including differences in agent behavior, supported settings, and reporting.
- Provide parity in documentation structure, ensuring that Linux scenarios are described with the same depth and clarity as Windows scenarios.
