Summary
The documentation references both Linux and Windows as underlying operating systems for Azure, but when discussing FIPS 140 validation, it specifically highlights the 'Windows FIPS validation program' and links to Windows Server documentation. There is no equivalent mention or link for Linux FIPS validation, nor are Linux-specific cryptographic modules or validation programs discussed. The ordering and linking suggest a Windows-first perspective and a reliance on Windows tools/documentation for compliance evidence.
Recommendations
  • Add references and links to Linux FIPS 140 validation programs or documentation, such as those for commonly used Linux distributions (e.g., Red Hat, Ubuntu).
  • Clarify that Azure services run on both Linux and Windows, and provide parity in compliance documentation for both platforms.
  • Include examples or guidance for managing cryptographic modules and compliance on Linux-based Azure resources.
  • Ensure that compliance features and instructions are not Windows-centric, and explicitly address Linux scenarios where relevant.
