Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several control mappings and policy definitions focus exclusively on Windows virtual machines (VMs), such as auditing Windows Administrators group membership, password policies, and deploying Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension for Windows Server. In some sections, Windows VM controls are listed before Linux equivalents, and certain controls (e.g., password complexity, domain join status) are only described for Windows, with no Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Linux VM controls are present but less comprehensive, and macOS is not mentioned at all.
Recommendations
- Ensure that all controls and policy definitions described for Windows VMs have equivalent examples or guidance for Linux VMs, where applicable.
- Present Linux and Windows examples side-by-side or in parallel lists, rather than listing Windows controls first.
- Expand coverage of Linux-specific controls, such as password policies, domain membership, and endpoint protection, to match the detail provided for Windows.
- Include explicit statements about macOS support or limitations, or clarify that the blueprint is not applicable to macOS if that is the case.
- Where a control is Windows-only due to Azure Policy limitations, clearly state this and suggest alternative approaches for Linux/macOS users.
