Summary:
This documentation page exclusively lists updates for the Azure Guest OS, which is based on Windows operating systems. All update references, KB articles, and product categories are for Windows components (e.g., .NET Framework, Internet Explorer, Windows Security, Servicing Stack, etc.). There are no references to Linux distributions, Linux update mechanisms, or Linux-specific security advisories. The documentation is entirely Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux guest OSes, their update cadence, or equivalent security patching processes.
Recommendations:
- Add a clear statement at the top clarifying that this page only covers Windows-based Azure Guest OS images, and provide a link to equivalent documentation for Linux-based Azure VM images.
- Provide a parallel table or section for Linux guest OSes, listing update advisories, CVEs, and patch release dates for supported distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat, SUSE).
- Reference Linux update mechanisms (such as apt, yum, zypper) and security advisories (USN, RHSA, etc.) where appropriate.
- If Azure Guest OS for Linux is not supported in this context, explicitly state this to avoid confusion for Linux users.
- Ensure future documentation on Azure VM guest OS updates covers both Windows and Linux platforms with parity in detail and update tracking.
