Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias throughout. It consistently references Windows-specific tools (such as AppLocker, Hyper-V, Windows Firewall, Group Policy Objects, BitLocker, and Windows PowerShell) as primary or sole solutions for hardening and managing workstations. There are no examples or guidance for equivalent Linux tools or practices, and Linux-based management scenarios are not addressed. The language and examples assume a Windows environment, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
- Include parallel examples and guidance for Linux-based management workstations, such as using iptables/nftables for firewalling, AppArmor/SELinux for application control, and Linux-native VPN clients.
- Reference cross-platform tools and approaches where possible (e.g., Azure CLI, which runs on Windows, Linux, and macOS) instead of focusing solely on Windows PowerShell.
- Provide instructions for hardening Linux management workstations, including patch management, privilege separation (e.g., sudo), and Linux-specific best practices.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-specific technologies (e.g., BitLocker vs. LUKS/dm-crypt for disk encryption, Group Policy vs. configuration management tools like Ansible, Puppet, or Chef).
- Add diagrams and scenarios that include Linux and macOS endpoints to reflect the diversity of real-world Azure management environments.
- Explicitly state that Azure management can be performed from non-Windows platforms and link to relevant documentation for those platforms.
