Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and resources (such as PowerShell and Windows registry settings for TLS) are mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. Examples and links for discovering supported images use PowerShell first, with Azure CLI mentioned second. The section on OS-level TLS settings is Windows-centric, with no Linux-specific guidance. There are no explicit Linux command-line examples or references to Linux security configuration patterns, and Windows terminology (RDP, registry) appears more frequently than SSH or Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-first or parallel examples where PowerShell is mentioned, such as showing both Azure CLI and PowerShell commands for listing supported images.
- Add Linux-specific guidance for OS-level security configuration, such as instructions for configuring TLS/cipher suites on supported Linux distributions.
- Ensure that references to remote access (RDP/SSH) are balanced, with equal detail for both Windows (RDP) and Linux (SSH) scenarios.
- Include links to Linux documentation (e.g., OpenSSL, SSH hardening, Linux disk encryption) where Windows-specific resources are provided.
- Review terminology to ensure Linux and Windows are treated equally throughout, and avoid defaulting to Windows-first phrasing.
