Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias in several ways: it references PowerShell Desired State Configuration as the basis for guest configuration policies without mentioning Linux equivalents, describes Windows service accounts in detail before Linux, and provides extension allowlist examples only for Windows agents. There are no explicit Linux command examples or references to Linux-native configuration tools or patterns.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for extension allowlists and agent configuration, including azcmagent commands relevant to Linux environments.
- Mention Linux equivalents to PowerShell Desired State Configuration, such as Ansible, Chef, or native shell scripts, for guest configuration policies.
- Describe Linux service/daemon accounts with equal detail and order as Windows service accounts.
- Include references to Linux security best practices (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, systemd hardening) alongside Windows recommendations.
- Ensure all examples and recommendations are presented for both Windows and Linux, or clarify when a feature is Windows-only.
