Summary
The documentation is generally platform-neutral but exhibits subtle Windows bias in the cryptography/FIPS 140 section, where Windows and Windows-specific validation programs are mentioned before Linux. There is also a reference to 'Azure-specific version of Windows' and the 'Windows FIPS validation program' without equivalent detail for Linux. No command-line examples (PowerShell, Bash, etc.) are present, so there is no overt example bias, but the underlying platform references favor Windows.
Recommendations
- When discussing FIPS 140 validation, provide equal detail about Linux cryptographic modules and their validation status in Azure, not just Windows.
- Reference both Windows and Linux as supported Azure operating systems in parallel, avoiding phrasing that puts Windows first or gives it more prominence.
- If mentioning validation programs or modules, include links or references to Linux equivalents (e.g., OpenSSL FIPS validation in Azure Linux VMs).
- Explicitly state that Azure supports both Linux and Windows for compliance scenarios, and provide parity in technical detail where applicable.
- If future updates add command-line or configuration examples, ensure both PowerShell/Windows and Bash/Linux examples are included.
