Summary
The documentation provides parity between Linux and Windows by using tabbed sections for each platform, but there is evidence of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (such as DSC modules, Windows Defender, ServerManager, SecurityPolicyDsc, and Windows Failover Clustering) are mentioned explicitly, while Linux equivalents (such as systemd, firewalld, or SELinux) are not named. In the operating system configuration section, Windows tasks are listed first and in greater detail, with specific modules and components called out. The use of PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) modules is highlighted for Windows, but no similar configuration management tools (like Ansible roles for Linux hardening) are referenced for Linux. The scripts and playbook commands are Bash-based for both platforms, but Windows-specific environment variables and Azure Key Vault usage are more prominent.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention Linux equivalents for Windows tools and configuration modules (e.g., systemd, firewalld, SELinux, Linux security hardening roles).
  • Provide equal detail for Linux configuration steps, listing specific packages, services, and security modules involved.
  • Reference Linux-native configuration management approaches (such as Ansible roles for OS hardening, package management, and security) alongside Windows DSC modules.
  • Ensure that both Linux and Windows sections are equally detailed and that neither platform is listed first by default.
  • Where PowerShell/DSC is mentioned for Windows, mention Ansible modules or roles for Linux that achieve similar outcomes.
