Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell code samples and references to Windows-centric tools and file paths (e.g., C:\ paths, .exe processes). There are no examples or guidance for Linux VMs or cross-platform command-line tools. The documentation assumes the use of Microsoft Antimalware, which is a Windows-only extension, and does not mention Linux security solutions or how to achieve similar functionality on Linux-based Azure VMs.
Recommendations
- Clearly state at the beginning that Microsoft Antimalware is only supported on Windows VMs, if that is the case.
- If Linux support is available, provide equivalent examples for Linux VMs using CLI, ARM templates, or relevant Linux security extensions (e.g., Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux).
- If Linux is not supported, add a section explaining recommended antimalware/endpoint protection options for Linux VMs in Azure.
- Where possible, use cross-platform Azure CLI examples in addition to PowerShell.
- Avoid hardcoding Windows-specific file paths and process names in examples, or provide Linux equivalents where relevant.
