Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows technologies (e.g., Windows Firewall, Windows Server) as the basis for Azure's infrastructure and security. There is no mention of Linux-based equivalents, tools, or patterns, nor are Linux operating systems or firewalls referenced. The documentation implies that Azure VMs and host environments are Windows-centric, omitting the fact that Azure also supports Linux VMs and associated management practices.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly mention that Azure supports both Windows and Linux VMs, and describe how the architecture applies to both.
  • Include references to Linux-based security tools (e.g., iptables, firewalld) alongside Windows Firewall when discussing VM security.
  • Clarify whether the 'customized and hardened version of the latest Windows Server' applies only to host VMs, and describe the equivalent for Linux-based hosts or guests.
  • Provide examples or explanations of how service definition files and port configuration work for Linux VMs.
  • Balance the discussion of operating system images by describing the process for Linux images (e.g., how base images are built, secured, and managed for Linux).
