Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a mild Windows bias. While it covers both Windows and Linux in the artifact parameters table, Windows terminology and concepts (such as 'Windows VM Administrators group', 'Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension', and password policies typical of Windows environments) are mentioned explicitly and in detail. There are no Linux-specific administrative group examples or equivalent Linux user/group management parameters. Additionally, the documentation references Windows VM settings before or more frequently than Linux equivalents in several places, and the only user/group management examples are for Windows. However, there are parameters for both Windows and Linux Log Analytics agents, and Linux is not entirely omitted.
Recommendations:
- Add Linux-specific examples for user/group management, such as parameters for configuring sudoers or root access exclusions/inclusions on Linux VMs.
- Where user/group management is discussed for Windows (e.g., Administrators group), provide equivalent Linux examples (e.g., sudo or wheel group).
- Ensure that for every Windows-specific extension or policy (like IaaSAntimalware), the Linux equivalent (such as the OMS agent or Linux security extensions) is also mentioned and described.
- Review the order of presentation in the artifact parameters table and documentation text to ensure Linux and Windows are given equal prominence, alternating or grouping them together where possible.
- Where password policies are described, clarify which apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and provide Linux-specific guidance if relevant.
