Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric tools (Active Directory, AD FS, Windows Server, Windows Hello for Business, Privileged Access Workstations) are referenced exclusively or before alternatives. Examples and guidance for automation and admin tasks mention PowerShell and Windows-specific features, with little or no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents. There is a lack of explicit Linux/macOS guidance for admin workstations, password protection agents, and automation scenarios, which may create friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Include Linux/macOS equivalents for admin workstation security (e.g., guidance for securing Linux/macOS admin endpoints).
- Provide examples for Azure CLI and automation on Linux/macOS, not just PowerShell/Windows.
- Mention cross-platform authentication options (e.g., FIDO2, passkeys) in a way that highlights their availability on non-Windows systems.
- Offer parity in documentation for password protection agents and self-service password reset features for non-Windows environments.
- Clarify which features/tools are Windows-only and suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS users.
