Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and features (such as Microsoft Antimalware and Windows security baselines) without mentioning Linux equivalents or clarifying Linux support. There are no explicit Linux examples or references to Linux-specific best practices, and the only security baseline mentioned is for Windows. This may give the impression that Automanage is primarily or exclusively for Windows VMs.
Recommendations
- Include explicit references to Linux support for each participating service, clarifying which features are available for Linux VMs.
- Mention and link to Linux security baselines or compliance options if available, or state if they are not currently supported.
- For services like Microsoft Antimalware and Guest Configuration, specify Linux alternatives (e.g., integration with common Linux antimalware solutions or CIS baselines).
- Provide Linux-specific examples or documentation links where appropriate to ensure parity.
- Add a table column or section indicating OS compatibility (Windows/Linux) for each service.
