Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily by referencing Windows-specific features (such as Windows security baselines) without mentioning Linux equivalents or clarifying Linux support. There are no explicit Linux examples or references to Linux-specific best practices, tools, or configuration profiles. The only detailed configuration example (Guest configuration) is Windows-centric, and the documentation does not clarify how or if these best practices apply to Linux VMs.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state which services and best practices apply to Linux VMs and provide links to Linux-specific documentation where available.
- For each service (e.g., Guest configuration, Antimalware), mention both Windows and Linux support, including any differences in onboarding, configuration, or available features.
- Include examples or references for configuring and managing Linux VMs, such as using Linux security baselines or supported Linux antimalware solutions.
- Where Windows-specific links are provided (e.g., Windows security baselines), provide parallel Linux resources (e.g., CIS benchmarks for Linux).
- Clarify in tables and descriptions whether each feature or profile is available for Linux, Windows, or both.
