Summary
The documentation page generally maintains a neutral tone regarding platform-specific guidance, but there is a subtle Windows bias in the cryptography section. The FIPS 140 validation discussion references Windows-specific validation programs and links to Windows Server modules before mentioning Linux. Azure's use of 'commercially available operating systems (Linux and Windows)' is mentioned, but the detailed validation and examples focus on Windows. There are no explicit Linux command-line or tool examples, nor are there PowerShell-only instructions, but the documentation does not provide Linux parity in cryptographic validation details.
Recommendations
- Include references to FIPS 140 validation for Linux cryptographic modules used in Azure, with links to relevant documentation or validation programs.
- Provide equal detail about how Linux-based Azure services meet FIPS 140 requirements, not just Windows Server.
- If mentioning Windows-specific validation programs, also mention equivalent Linux validation processes or modules.
- Add examples or references to Linux-based key management and encryption practices in Azure, ensuring parity with Windows coverage.
