Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias primarily in the 'Automation and control: Alert on security configuration drifts' section, where only PowerShell and PowerShell Desired State Configuration (DSC) are mentioned for automation and configuration management. There are no references to Linux-native tools or cross-platform scripting alternatives, and no examples are provided for Linux users. Additionally, the mention of 'malicious PowerShell scripts' as a threat vector is not balanced with equivalent Linux scripting threats (e.g., Bash scripts).
Recommendations:
- Include examples and references for Linux-native automation tools, such as Bash scripts, Ansible, or Chef, alongside PowerShell/DSC.
- Mention and provide guidance for using Azure Automation with Linux VMs, including supported scripting languages and configuration management options.
- Balance the discussion of scripting threats by mentioning Linux shell scripts and common Linux attack vectors in addition to PowerShell.
- Where PowerShell is referenced, clarify cross-platform support (e.g., PowerShell Core on Linux) and provide Linux-specific usage notes or examples.
- Ensure that all configuration and automation guidance is presented in a cross-platform manner, or provide parallel instructions for both Windows and Linux environments.
