Summary
The documentation is largely platform-neutral in its discussion of Azure export controls, but in the section on FIPS 140 validated cryptography, it specifically references the 'Microsoft Windows FIPS validation program' and provides a link to modules used by Windows Server. While it mentions that Azure uses both Linux and Windows operating systems, the only detailed reference and external link for cryptographic validation is for Windows, not Linux. There are no command-line examples or tool usage instructions, but the documentation does not provide Linux-specific parity in its discussion of cryptographic modules or validation programs.
Recommendations
- Include explicit references to FIPS 140 validation for Linux-based cryptographic modules used in Azure, with links to relevant documentation or validation certificates.
- Provide equal detail for both Windows and Linux in sections discussing cryptographic modules, validation, and security practices.
- If referencing Windows-specific validation programs or modules, add parallel information for Linux to ensure parity and avoid the impression that only Windows is supported or validated.
- Consider including examples or references to cross-platform tools or commands (where applicable) to demonstrate Azure's support for both Windows and Linux environments.
