Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows technologies (e.g., Windows Firewall, Windows Server) in its descriptions of Azure VM architecture and management. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents, nor are examples provided for Linux-based scenarios. The documentation implies that Azure VMs run Windows Server by default, without acknowledging the prevalence or support of Linux-based VMs in Azure. This could mislead users into believing that Azure is primarily or exclusively a Windows environment.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention that Azure supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and describe how Linux VMs are managed and secured.
- Include references to Linux-based firewalls (e.g., iptables, firewalld) and how port/addressability is configured for Linux VMs.
- Provide examples or explanations for both Windows and Linux VM images, including their hardening and management processes.
- Clarify whether the described processes (e.g., hypervisor, firewall configuration) apply to Linux VMs, and if there are differences, document them.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or only supported OS in Azure, unless contextually accurate.
