Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific tools, protocols, and examples (such as SMB 3.0, RDP, and PowerShell) are mentioned more frequently, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. PowerShell is highlighted as a configuration method for VPNs, while Linux command-line or scripting alternatives are not equally represented. Some sections provide Windows-specific library/package references (e.g., .NET NuGet for client-side encryption) with only brief or secondary mention of Java, and there is little to no mention of Linux-native tools or workflows for encryption tasks. Where Linux is mentioned (e.g., SSH access), it is often after the Windows approach or in a less detailed manner.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux/Unix command-line examples (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI) alongside or before PowerShell examples for configuring encryption and VPNs.
- Include references to Linux-native tools and libraries for client-side encryption (such as Python SDKs, OpenSSL usage, or Linux file encryption utilities).
- When describing protocols like SMB or RDP, clarify cross-platform support and provide Linux client/server usage instructions where applicable (e.g., using smbclient, xrdp, or remmina).
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows approaches are given equal prominence and detail.
- Add explicit Linux configuration walkthroughs for common scenarios (e.g., setting up encrypted disks, configuring VPN connections, or using Azure Key Vault from Linux environments).
