Summary:
The documentation is largely platform-neutral, focusing on Azure Policy definitions and compliance mappings. However, there is evidence of Windows bias in the security tooling recommendations: several policies specifically reference Windows-only tools or extensions (e.g., Microsoft Antimalware for Azure, Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension for Windows servers), and there are no equivalent Linux security tooling examples or explicit parity statements. No PowerShell-heavy or Windows-first command examples are present, but the lack of Linux-specific guidance or mention of Linux alternatives for antimalware/monitoring is a notable omission.
Recommendations:
- Where Windows-specific security tools (e.g., Microsoft Antimalware, IaaSAntimalware extension) are referenced, add equivalent Linux guidance or explicitly state Linux alternatives (such as supported Linux antimalware agents or monitoring solutions).
- For each policy or extension that is Windows-only, clarify its platform scope and provide links to Linux documentation or recommended practices where available.
- Consider including a summary table or section listing both Windows and Linux supported security agents/extensions for common compliance controls.
- Review for other areas where only Windows-specific features are mentioned and ensure Linux parity or clear documentation of platform differences.
