Summary
The documentation provides separate sections for Linux and Windows images, but some bias is evident. In the Linux section, there is a reference to 'Windows Server roles, features, services, and networking ports' within a Linux-specific checklist, which is confusing and suggests Windows-centric language. The Windows section mentions BitLocker and auto-update, but the Linux section does not mention equivalent Linux disk encryption (e.g., LUKS) or auto-update mechanisms (e.g., unattended-upgrades). Some configuration examples (e.g., for SSH and waagent) are given for Linux, but overall, Windows tools and terminology are more prominent, and some Linux best practices are omitted.
Recommendations
- Remove references to Windows Server roles/features from the Linux checklist.
- Add Linux equivalents for disk encryption (e.g., recommend LUKS or dm-crypt for OS/data disks).
- Include guidance for enabling automatic security updates on Linux (e.g., using unattended-upgrades or dnf-automatic).
- Ensure Linux-specific terminology and examples are used in the Linux section, and avoid Windows-centric language.
- Provide parity in recommendations, such as mentioning removal of sensitive files (e.g., /etc/hosts for Linux, not just HOSTS for Windows).
