Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets like Add-AzKeyVaultKey and Set-AzVMDiskEncryptionExtension) are referenced without Linux CLI equivalents. Windows terminology and update patterns (WSUS, Windows Update) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux alternatives. Examples and guidance for Linux users are sparse or missing, especially for operational tasks like disk encryption, backup, and diagnostics. Some sections mention Linux, but practical instructions or command-line examples are focused on Windows.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux CLI (bash/az CLI) equivalents for all PowerShell cmdlet examples, especially for key management and disk encryption.
  • Include Linux-specific operational guidance for tasks such as backup, diagnostics, and VM monitoring (e.g., using Azure Diagnostics extension on Linux, snapshotting Linux disks).
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, mentioning both platforms in parallel where possible.
  • Reference Linux-native tools and update mechanisms (e.g., apt/yum/dnf for updates, cron for scheduling) alongside Windows tools.
  • Add explicit Linux examples for integrating with Azure services (e.g., using Entra authentication, Defender for Cloud, Azure Monitor) with step-by-step instructions.
  • Clarify when recommendations apply to both platforms and highlight any differences in implementation.
