Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell Desired State Configuration as the basis for guest configuration policies, without mentioning Linux equivalents (such as Ansible, Chef, or native shell scripts). Windows service accounts (e.g., NT SERVICE\himds, Local System, Network Service) are described in detail before their Linux counterparts, and examples (such as extension allowlists) focus on Windows-specific extensions. There are no explicit Linux configuration or security examples, and Linux tools or patterns are not discussed.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-native configuration management equivalents (e.g., Ansible, Chef, shell scripts) in the guest configuration section.
- Provide examples of extension allowlists and agent lockdown for Linux servers, referencing Linux-specific extensions and security tools.
- Describe Linux service/daemon management patterns (e.g., systemd units, user accounts) with equal detail and prominence as Windows service accounts.
- Mention Linux compliance and security best practices alongside Windows, such as SELinux, AppArmor, or auditd.
- Ensure examples and recommendations are presented for both Windows and Linux platforms, or clarify platform-specific differences where relevant.
