Summary
The documentation is generally platform-neutral, focusing on Azure networking concepts and service tags. However, there is a dedicated section ('KMS endpoint') describing configuration steps specifically for Windows virtual machines, including references to Windows activation and Windows Key Management Services (KMS). Additionally, the 'Internal infrastructure and diagnostics' section lists endpoints for Windows Update and Windows Defender, which are only relevant for Windows VMs. No equivalent Linux/macOS-specific guidance or endpoints are provided.
Recommendations
  • Add a note clarifying that the KMS endpoint and Windows Update/Defender endpoints are only required for Windows VMs, and are not relevant for Linux/macOS.
  • Include guidance or references for Linux VM-specific network requirements, such as package repository access (e.g., Ubuntu, Red Hat, etc.), if applicable.
  • Provide parity by mentioning any common Linux/macOS diagnostic endpoints or update mechanisms if they exist for Azure VMs.
  • Reorganize sections so that platform-specific requirements (Windows, Linux, etc.) are clearly labeled and separated.
