Summary
The documentation page generally maintains cross-platform parity, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. References to Windows-specific tools (such as PowerShell) and documentation links for Windows OS configuration (TLS settings) are more prominent than their Linux equivalents. Windows registry settings and cipher suite ordering are discussed in detail, while Linux-specific security configuration is not. PowerShell is mentioned as a way to discover supported images, with Azure CLI listed second. Windows OS details (such as automatic updates and TLS management) are described before Linux, and links to Windows documentation are provided without Linux counterparts.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-specific examples and links for OS-level security configuration, such as TLS/cipher suite management.
- Provide parity in tooling references: mention Azure CLI before or alongside PowerShell, and include Bash or shell script examples where relevant.
- Balance the order of OS discussions, alternating between Windows and Linux or grouping OS-specific guidance together.
- Add references to Linux documentation for managing security settings (e.g., OpenSSL, SSH, iptables, etc.).
- Clarify which features or recommendations apply equally to both Windows and Linux, and note any differences.
