Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Azure portal and Azure Policy UI, with some references to Windows-specific tools and policies (e.g., Guest Configuration extension for Windows VMs, password policies for Windows machines). There are several audit policies that specifically mention Windows machines and their password settings, but there are no equivalent Linux examples or explicit parity for Linux-based systems. The documentation does not provide cross-platform command-line or scripting examples (e.g., PowerShell vs. Bash/CLI), nor does it mention Linux tools or configuration patterns where relevant. This results in a bias toward Windows environments and leaves Linux users with less guidance.
Recommendations:
- For every Windows-specific policy or example (such as password policies, Guest Configuration extension), provide equivalent Linux-focused guidance and examples.
- Include explicit references to Linux VM management, configuration, and compliance policies alongside Windows examples.
- Where Azure Policy or Guest Configuration supports both Windows and Linux, clarify the parity and provide links or documentation for both platforms.
- Add CLI/Bash examples or documentation for Linux users, not just portal or Windows-centric instructions.
- Review all audit and configuration policies to ensure Linux systems are equally covered and that documentation does not assume a Windows-only environment.
