Summary:
The documentation page is generally neutral and focused on Azure Policy compliance mappings, but there is a notable Windows bias in the sections related to password policies and guest configuration. Multiple policies specifically target 'Windows machines' (e.g., password age, password length, password reuse), and there are policies for deploying the Windows Guest Configuration extension. There are no equivalent policies or examples for Linux machines, nor is there mention of how to achieve similar compliance for Linux VMs. This creates a gap for Linux users seeking parity in compliance monitoring and enforcement.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent Linux policies and controls for password management (e.g., minimum password length, password age, password reuse) and guest configuration.
- Include explicit mention of Linux support or limitations where only Windows is supported, so users are aware of platform gaps.
- Provide links or references to Linux guest configuration extensions and how to deploy them, if available.
- Where policies are Windows-specific, offer guidance or alternatives for Linux environments, or clarify if such policies are not currently available.
- Ensure future updates include parity for Linux VMs in compliance initiatives, especially for common controls like password policies and configuration management.
