Summary
The documentation page is generally platform-neutral in its instructions for deploying the ISM PROTECTED blueprint sample, focusing on Azure portal UI steps. However, there is a notable Windows bias in the artifact parameters table, which includes several parameters specific to Windows VM administration (e.g., users included/excluded from Windows VM Administrators group, Microsoft IaaSAntimalware extension for Windows servers, password policy parameters that match Windows conventions). These Windows-specific parameters are listed before or alongside Linux equivalents, but there are more Windows-specific controls and examples than Linux ones. No PowerShell or CLI examples are given, so the bias is moderate and mostly in the context of VM management and security controls.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent Linux-focused parameters and controls where possible, such as Linux admin group management, Linux-specific antimalware or endpoint protection extensions, and Linux password policy controls.
- Ensure that Linux VM management examples and parameters are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows ones.
- Where password or admin group controls are described, clarify whether they apply to Windows, Linux, or both, and provide Linux-specific guidance if relevant.
- Consider including CLI or script-based deployment examples for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash/Azure CLI) environments to improve parity.
