Summary
The documentation provides examples and parameters for both Windows and Linux VMs, but Windows-specific concepts (such as the 'Administrators group' and 'List of users that should be included in Windows VM Administrators group') are described in detail, while equivalent Linux concepts (such as sudoers or admin groups) are not mentioned. Windows VM parameters and patterns are listed before Linux ones in the artifact parameters table, and there is no guidance or example for managing Linux VM administrative users or groups. Additionally, the documentation refers to Windows-specific groups and patterns without Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent Linux administrative group/user management parameters and examples, such as specifying sudoers or wheel group members for Linux VMs.
  • Ensure Linux VM examples and patterns are described with the same level of detail as Windows VM examples.
  • Present Linux and Windows examples in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or exclusively.
  • Include references to Linux tools and management patterns where Windows tools/groups are mentioned.
  • Clarify any differences in artifact deployment or configuration for Linux VMs, especially for audit and administrative controls.
