Summary
The documentation provides security best practices for Azure IaaS workloads and is intended for both Windows and Linux VMs. However, there is a notable Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Add-AzKeyVaultKey, Set-AzVMDiskEncryptionExtension) are referenced without equivalent Linux CLI or Bash examples; Windows tools and concepts (e.g., WSUS, Windows Update, BitLocker) are mentioned before or more prominently than Linux equivalents; and some example links (e.g., snapshot-copy-managed-disk) point to Windows-specific documentation first. While Linux is acknowledged and supported in most features, Linux users may need to infer or search for equivalent commands and workflows.
Recommendations
  • Provide Azure CLI and Bash examples alongside PowerShell cmdlets for key management and disk encryption tasks.
  • When referencing tools like BitLocker, also mention and link to DM-Crypt documentation for Linux.
  • Ensure that links to snapshot and backup documentation include both Windows and Linux VM scenarios.
  • When listing update management tools, clarify Linux equivalents (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) and how they integrate with Azure Update Management.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows examples/tools are given equal prominence.
