Summary
The documentation shows a mild Windows bias, primarily in the artifact parameters table, where parameters related to Windows VM Administrator group management and Windows-specific extensions (e.g., Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension) are present. Windows VM examples (e.g., lists of users for Administrators group) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents (such as sudoers or admin group management) are not mentioned. However, Linux VM and VMSS artifacts are included, and there are parameters for both Windows and Linux VM images and Log Analytics workspaces. No PowerShell-specific instructions or Windows-only deployment steps are present, and the UI-based instructions are platform-neutral.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux admin group management parameters and documentation (e.g., managing sudoers or admin group membership for Linux VMs).
- Provide examples or notes for Linux VM security controls where only Windows controls are described (e.g., password complexity, admin group membership).
- Ensure parity in extension deployment descriptions (e.g., mention Linux antimalware or endpoint protection extensions if available).
- Clarify in the documentation which controls apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and provide links to Linux-specific guidance where relevant.
