Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automanage Machine Best Practices demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through its explicit mention of installing Windows security baselines via guest configuration, without reference to Linux equivalents. There are no examples or guidance specific to Linux VMs, and the documentation does not clarify how Automanage best practices apply to Linux environments, despite Azure supporting both Windows and Linux virtual machines.
Recommendations
- Add explicit references to Linux support in each service description, clarifying which features are available for Linux VMs.
- Include examples or documentation links for configuring Automanage on Linux VMs, such as Linux security baselines or compliance policies.
- When mentioning guest configuration, specify whether Linux equivalents (e.g., CIS benchmarks, OS-specific policies) are supported and how they are applied.
- Ensure parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux scenarios, tools, and outcomes where applicable.
