Summary
This documentation page exclusively lists updates for the Azure Guest OS, which are all Windows-based. There is no mention of Linux distributions, Linux update mechanisms, or Linux security advisories. All update references, KB articles, and product categories are specific to Windows technologies (e.g., .NET Framework, Internet Explorer, Windows Security, Servicing Stack Update, Microcode, etc.). There are no Linux equivalents, examples, or even an acknowledgement of Linux-based guest OS options. The documentation is entirely Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel section or a separate page listing updates and advisories for Linux-based Azure guest OS images, including references to upstream security advisories, distribution-specific update mechanisms (e.g., apt, yum, zypper), and kernel/security patching policies.
- Clearly indicate at the top of the page that the content is specific to Windows guest OS images, and provide a link to Linux guest OS update documentation if available.
- Include a comparison or cross-reference table that helps users of both Windows and Linux guest OSes understand the update/patching lifecycle and mechanisms for each platform.
- If Azure supports both Windows and Linux guest OSes, ensure that documentation parity is maintained by providing equivalent update tracking and guidance for Linux images.
