Summary
The documentation exclusively lists updates for Windows-based Azure Guest OS images, referencing only Windows operating systems, Windows-specific update mechanisms (e.g., LCUs, Servicing Stack Updates, .NET Framework, Internet Explorer, Windows Security), and Microsoft KB articles. There are no references to Linux distributions, Linux package managers, or Linux-specific update processes. No examples, tables, or notes address Linux guest OSes or their update tracking.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section or linked page that lists updates and security advisories for supported Linux distributions on Azure (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat, CentOS, SUSE).
- Include references to Linux-specific update mechanisms (such as apt, yum, zypper, etc.) and how to track or verify applied updates on Linux VMs.
- Provide guidance or links to documentation on how to check for and apply security updates on Linux guest OSes in Azure.
- Clarify in the introduction that this page is specific to Windows Guest OS images, and direct users to Linux update documentation if applicable.
- Consider a unified update matrix or dashboard that covers both Windows and Linux guest OSes for Azure, or at least cross-links between the two.
