Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools and technologies (such as BitLocker, Windows Firewall, Active Directory Federation Services, and Group Policy) without equivalent emphasis or examples for Linux. Windows terminology and tools are often mentioned first or exclusively, and there is a lack of Linux-specific operational guidance or examples, especially in areas like VM administration, disk encryption, and identity management.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific operational examples and guidance alongside Windows examples, especially for VM administration, disk encryption, and identity management.
  • When mentioning Windows tools (e.g., BitLocker, Group Policy, Windows Firewall), also mention and briefly describe the Linux equivalents (e.g., dm-crypt, iptables/firewalld, PAM/SSSD for identity).
  • Avoid using Windows terminology as the default; instead, use cross-platform or neutral terms where possible, or explicitly mention both Windows and Linux.
  • Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., Bash, CLI) where PowerShell or Windows GUI steps are referenced.
  • Ensure that references to documentation or quickstarts include both Windows and Linux versions, especially in 'Next Steps' and operational sections.
  • Highlight Azure features or services that are platform-agnostic or provide parity between Windows and Linux, and call out any differences or limitations for Linux users.
