Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Microsoft-specific tools, services, and patterns (such as PowerShell, Entra ID, and SDL Threat Modeling Tool) without mentioning or providing Linux or open-source equivalents. Examples and links are predominantly for Windows or Microsoft-centric technologies, and there is a lack of explicit Linux or cross-platform guidance, especially in areas like authentication, logging, and secure development practices.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and tools alongside Windows ones, such as using Bash scripts or Linux CLI for Azure management.
- Reference open-source or cross-platform alternatives for threat modeling, authentication, and key management (e.g., OWASP Threat Dragon, HashiCorp Vault).
- Provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux environments, especially for DevOps, logging, and security controls.
- Explicitly mention how Azure services and SDKs can be used from Linux environments, including setup and usage instructions.
- Add links to Linux-focused Azure documentation and best practices.
- Ensure that examples and recommendations do not assume a Windows-first approach, and clarify platform-agnostic steps where possible.
