Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias primarily through repeated references to Windows-specific licensing and cost-saving features (such as Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server and SQL Server), and by mentioning Windows-related tools and scenarios before any Linux equivalents. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-specific scenarios, such as cost optimization for Linux VMs or leveraging Linux licensing benefits. The documentation also omits Linux-specific cost management considerations and does not provide parity in examples or recommendations for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Include examples and guidance for cost optimization with Linux VMs, such as sizing, reservations, and licensing benefits for Linux workloads.
- Mention Linux licensing and cost-saving features (e.g., bring-your-own-license for Linux, reserved instances for Linux VMs) alongside Windows options.
- Add references to Linux-specific tools or patterns for automation and cost management (such as using Bash scripts, Linux-native APIs, or open-source analytics platforms).
- Ensure that cost-saving programs and recommendations (like Azure Savings Plans and Reservations) are described with both Windows and Linux applicability.
- Provide parity in documentation structure by presenting Linux scenarios and examples at the same prominence and order as Windows ones.
