Summary
The documentation provides security recommendations for both Linux and Windows images in the Azure Marketplace. The Linux section is comprehensive and includes specific configuration and deployment steps. The Windows section is shorter but covers relevant security checks. There is minor evidence of Windows bias: the phrase 'Limit the attack surface...' in the Linux table mentions 'Windows Server roles, features, services, and networking ports,' which is not relevant to Linux. Additionally, some recommendations (like BitLocker) are Windows-specific, but these are appropriately placed in the Windows section. The order of presentation is Linux first, which is positive, but some language and examples could be clearer for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Remove or rephrase references to 'Windows Server roles, features, services, and networking ports' in the Linux recommendations to avoid confusion.
  • Ensure all recommendations in the Linux section are Linux-specific and do not mention Windows terminology.
  • Consider expanding the Windows section to match the detail level of the Linux section, or clarify that some checks are OS-specific.
  • Add explicit notes where recommendations differ between OSes to help users understand the rationale.
