Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric identity management concepts (Active Directory, Group Policy, LAPS) first and in detail, while Linux equivalents are mentioned only briefly or not at all. Examples and scenarios focus on Windows tools and patterns, such as Remote Desktop and AD domain join, with limited coverage of Linux access (SSH is mentioned only once, with no Linux-specific management examples). There is a lack of parity in describing Linux identity management practices or tools in hybrid environments.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples for identity and access management, such as using SSH with Microsoft Entra ID, managing sudoers via cloud policy, or integrating Linux PAM with Entra.
- Include Linux-focused scenarios alongside Windows ones, such as onboarding Linux servers to Azure Arc and assigning roles for Linux management tasks.
- Mention Linux-native tools and patterns (e.g., SELinux, systemd, local user management) where Windows tools like Group Policy and LAPS are discussed.
- Ensure that examples and guidance are presented for both Windows and Linux platforms, ideally in parallel, to avoid platform-first bias.
- Clarify how hybrid identity solutions work for Linux servers, including any limitations or best practices.
