Summary
The documentation demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows Defender, WSUS) are mentioned or exemplified before Linux equivalents, and some examples (such as disk encryption and backup) use PowerShell commands without Linux CLI alternatives. Antimalware recommendations are Windows-centric, and monitoring/diagnostics extensions are described primarily for Windows VMs. Linux-specific instructions, tools, or examples are often missing or referenced only as secondary options.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux CLI (bash, az CLI) equivalents for all PowerShell examples, especially for disk encryption and backup operations.
  • Include Linux-specific antimalware solutions and examples (e.g., ClamAV, Sophos, ESET) alongside Windows Defender and Microsoft Antimalware.
  • Ensure that monitoring and diagnostics instructions cover both Windows and Linux agents/extensions, with explicit Linux setup steps.
  • When listing best practices or tools, present Windows and Linux options in parallel, rather than Windows-first ordering.
  • Expand explanations for Linux VM management, such as update strategies (apt, yum, zypper), and reference Linux-specific documentation where appropriate.
  • Add explicit examples of Linux VM lifecycle management, authentication, and security posture monitoring.
