Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing TPM and Secure Boot primarily through Microsoft and Windows-centric links and terminology. All referenced documentation and examples are Windows-specific, with no mention of Linux equivalents, tools, or procedures. The TPM link directs to Windows documentation, and there is no discussion of how measured boot or attestation would be implemented or verified on Linux hosts, despite TPM and Secure Boot being cross-platform technologies.
Recommendations:
- Include references to Linux TPM and Secure Boot documentation, such as links to tpm2-tools, Linux kernel documentation, or relevant distributions' security guides.
- Provide examples or explanations of how measured boot and attestation are performed or validated on Linux hosts, including typical tools and log locations (e.g., tpm2_pcrread, journalctl, /sys/kernel/security/ima).
- Mention Linux-specific attestation frameworks (such as Keylime or IMA/EVM) and how they integrate with Azure's attestation service, if applicable.
- Balance the documentation by explicitly stating that the described technologies are cross-platform and outlining any Azure-specific differences or requirements for Linux hosts.
- Add a section or callout box comparing Windows and Linux attestation flows, highlighting any differences in implementation or support.
