Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by referencing Microsoft-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, Microsoft Entra, and Azure Key Vault) without mentioning Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. Examples and guidance are centered around Windows technologies and Azure services, with little to no reference to Linux-based workflows, tools, or security practices. The Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) is linked to a Windows documentation page, and authentication guidance references remote PowerShell access, which is primarily a Windows-centric tool. There are no explicit Linux or open-source examples, and platform-neutral alternatives are not highlighted.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and workflows for key security activities, such as authentication, logging, and key management.
- Reference cross-platform tools and SDKs (e.g., Azure CLI, which runs natively on Linux, macOS, and Windows) alongside or before Windows-specific tools like PowerShell.
- Provide links to Linux security best practices and documentation, such as SELinux, AppArmor, or Linux-based identity management solutions.
- Highlight open-source and platform-neutral threat modeling tools in addition to Microsoft SDL Threat Modeling Tool.
- Ensure that examples for logging, error handling, and deployment include both Windows and Linux environments.
- Mention Linux-compatible Azure services and features, such as Azure App Service for Linux, and provide guidance for securing applications deployed on Linux VMs.
