Summary
The documentation page is generally platform-neutral, with most guidance focused on Azure features and compliance requirements. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the 'FIPS 140 validated cryptography' section, where Windows-specific FIPS validation is referenced before Linux, and links are provided to Windows FIPS validation documentation. The mention of 'commercially available operating systems (Linux and Windows), and Azure-specific version of Windows' does acknowledge Linux, but the validation details and supporting links are Windows-centric. No PowerShell-heavy examples, missing Linux examples, or exclusive use of Windows tools/patterns are present, but Windows is prioritized in cryptography validation references.
Recommendations
  • Provide equal detail and reference links for Linux FIPS 140 validation, including documentation on how Azure's Linux-based services meet FIPS 140 requirements.
  • Clarify that both Linux and Windows operating systems in Azure use FIPS 140 validated cryptographic modules, and link to relevant Linux validation documentation or standards.
  • Include examples or references for managing encryption and compliance on Linux-based Azure services, not just Windows.
  • Review other sections for subtle prioritization of Windows tools or documentation and ensure Linux parity in technical references.
