Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows and Windows Server are mentioned explicitly in the encryption section, with SMB 3.0 highlighted as an encryption option for Windows file shares, but there is no mention of Linux equivalents (e.g., NFS with Kerberos, SSHFS, or Linux SMB clients). The only specific attack detection example called out in the blog list is a 'suspicious PowerShell attack,' with no comparable Bash or Linux scripting examples. Windows-centric terminology and tools (e.g., Secure Admin Workstations, smartcard authentication, and references to Windows protocols) are used without Linux alternatives or parity. There are no explicit Linux command-line or tool examples, and Windows technologies are generally mentioned first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Add examples and guidance for Linux-based workloads, such as using NFS with Kerberos for encrypted file shares, or SSHFS, alongside SMB 3.0.
  • Include Linux-specific security practices and tools (e.g., SELinux, AppArmor, Linux auditd, SSH key management) in relevant sections.
  • Provide attack detection examples involving Linux scripting (e.g., Bash, Python) or Linux-specific threats, not just PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux authentication mechanisms (e.g., PAM, SSH keys, smartcards for Linux) when discussing secure access and admin workstations.
  • Ensure that documentation lists both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, rather than Windows-first or Windows-only.
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples for Azure resource management, monitoring, and security operations.
