Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, deployment instructions, and supported platforms focus exclusively on Windows Server and Windows-based Azure services. There is no guidance or parity for Linux VMs or Linux-based services, and all configuration and management steps rely on Windows-centric tools such as PowerShell, Visual Studio, and Windows event logs. Linux is explicitly stated as unsupported, and no alternative antimalware solutions or deployment patterns for Linux are mentioned.
Recommendations
- Clearly state Linux support status at the beginning of the document and provide links to recommended antimalware solutions for Linux VMs in Azure.
- If Microsoft Antimalware is not available for Linux, suggest equivalent Azure-supported antimalware extensions (e.g., Trend Micro, Symantec, etc.) and provide deployment instructions for those.
- Include Linux-focused examples for monitoring, event collection, and extension deployment using Bash/CLI, ARM templates, or other cross-platform tools.
- Mention Linux equivalents for event logging and diagnostics (e.g., syslog, journald) and how to collect and monitor antimalware events on Linux.
- Balance PowerShell-heavy sections with Azure CLI or REST API examples that work on both Windows and Linux platforms.
- Add a comparison table of antimalware solutions available for Windows and Linux in Azure, including supported features and deployment methods.
