Summary:
The documentation page shows a subtle Windows bias. In the encryption in transit section, Windows, Windows Server, and Azure File shares using SMB 3.0 are mentioned explicitly, while Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives are not discussed. There are no Linux-specific examples or tools mentioned for encryption, file sharing, or monitoring. Additionally, the referenced blog posts for Microsoft Defender for Cloud include several Windows/Powershell-specific attack detection scenarios, with only two Linux-specific examples, and these Linux examples appear later in the list.
Recommendations:
- When mentioning SMB 3.0 for Windows/Windows Server, also mention NFS or other Linux-compatible protocols and how encryption is handled for Linux VMs and file shares.
- Provide explicit Linux examples or guidance for encryption at rest/in transit, such as using dm-crypt, LUKS, or OpenSSL for client-side encryption.
- Include Linux command-line or scripting examples (e.g., bash, shell scripts) alongside or before Windows/Powershell examples where relevant.
- Ensure that blog post references and security scenarios are balanced between Windows and Linux, and consider listing Linux examples earlier or equally.
- Highlight Azure features/tools that are cross-platform or provide parity for both Windows and Linux environments.
