Summary
The documentation exclusively provides PowerShell code samples and references to Windows-centric tools and file paths (e.g., C:\), with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform approaches. All configuration and deployment instructions assume a Windows environment, omitting any guidance for Linux VMs or non-Windows management tools. This creates a strong Windows bias and leaves Linux users without actionable instructions.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash/CLI/ARM template examples for Linux VMs, or explicitly state if Microsoft Antimalware is not supported on Linux.
- Clarify platform support (Windows-only or cross-platform) at the start of the documentation.
- Include instructions or links for configuring antimalware or endpoint protection on Linux Azure VMs, such as using Microsoft Defender for Endpoint on Linux.
- Avoid using Windows-specific file paths (e.g., C:\) in generic configuration examples, or provide Linux path equivalents.
- Mention and demonstrate use of Azure CLI (az) where possible, as it is cross-platform.
