Summary
The documentation describes Azure Machine Configuration policies for both Windows and Linux, but the only detailed example provided is for a Windows-specific policy ('Audit Windows machines that are not set to the specified time zone'). No equivalent Linux example is given, and the walkthrough focuses exclusively on Windows. While Linux policies are mentioned in lists and notes, they are not illustrated with step-by-step guidance or screenshots.
Recommendations
  • Add a parallel example that demonstrates assigning a Linux-specific built-in Machine Configuration policy, such as auditing Linux password settings or required applications.
  • Include screenshots and parameter walkthroughs for Linux policy assignment, mirroring the detail given for Windows.
  • Ensure that Linux policies are given equal prominence in examples and are not relegated to notes or lists.
  • Consider alternating the order of Windows and Linux examples, or presenting both side-by-side.
