Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell Desired State Configuration as the sole example for guest configuration policies, using Windows account types and SIDs before mentioning Linux equivalents, and providing extension allowlist examples that only reference Windows-specific extensions. There are no Linux-specific extension examples or mentions of Linux configuration tools, and the documentation generally describes Windows patterns and tools first.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples for extension allowlists, such as referencing Linux monitoring or security extensions.
- Mention Linux equivalents to PowerShell Desired State Configuration, such as Ansible, Chef, or native Linux configuration management tools, when discussing guest configuration policies.
- Provide sample azcmagent commands for Linux scenarios, including extension allowlists and disabling features relevant to Linux servers.
- Ensure that both Windows and Linux account/service names are described with equal prominence and detail.
- Add notes or sections highlighting differences in security controls or agent behavior between Windows and Linux environments.
