Summary
The documentation page for Azure Automanage Machine Best Practices demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific features (such as Windows security baselines) and omitting explicit mention of Linux equivalents or examples. The 'Guest configuration' section specifically states that Windows security baselines are installed, with no mention of Linux security baselines or configuration options. Throughout the page, there are no examples or clarifications for Linux VM onboarding, configuration, or best practices, despite Azure Automanage supporting both Windows and Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention Linux support and provide examples or references for Linux VM onboarding and configuration.
- Clarify whether features like Guest configuration and security baselines have Linux equivalents, and link to relevant documentation.
- Add a table column or section indicating OS applicability (Windows, Linux, or both) for each participating service.
- Provide links to Linux-specific best practices or configuration guides where appropriate.
