Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and concepts (such as Microsoft Antimalware and Windows security baselines) without mentioning Linux equivalents or clarifying Linux support. The 'Guest configuration' section specifically states that Windows security baselines are installed, with no mention of Linux baseline options. There are no explicit examples or guidance for Linux VMs, and the documentation implicitly assumes a Windows environment in several service descriptions.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention Linux support for each participating service, including any differences in configuration or capabilities.
- For sections referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., Microsoft Antimalware, Windows security baselines), add parallel information about Linux equivalents (such as supported Linux antimalware solutions or CIS baselines for Linux).
- Where configuration or onboarding steps differ between Windows and Linux VMs, provide clear, side-by-side instructions or tables.
- Include examples or links to documentation that demonstrate Automanage best practices for Linux VMs.
- Review and update service descriptions to clarify cross-platform applicability and avoid implying Windows exclusivity unless accurate.
