Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows Firewall as the native and guest firewall solution within Azure, without mentioning Linux firewall equivalents (such as iptables, nftables, or firewalld). There are no examples or explanations for how firewalling or security controls are implemented or managed on Linux-based Azure VMs. The discussion of firewall configuration and management is framed in terms of Windows tools and patterns, and Windows is mentioned first and exclusively in relevant sections.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly mention Linux firewall solutions (e.g., iptables, nftables, firewalld) alongside Windows Firewall when discussing native and guest firewalls.
- Describe how firewall rules and security controls are managed on Linux-based Azure VMs, including any Azure-specific integration or recommendations.
- Provide examples or references for both Windows and Linux environments when discussing security configuration, to ensure parity and inclusivity.
- Avoid language that implies Windows is the default or only supported environment for firewalling and security controls in Azure.
