Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on Windows software meters and licensing costs, with no mention of Linux equivalents or how savings plans affect Linux VM usage. All examples and tables are Windows-centric, and there is no discussion of Linux VM software costs or licensing, which may lead users to assume that only Windows VMs incur extra software charges.
Recommendations
- Add a section clarifying how savings plans apply to Linux VMs, including whether there are any software meters or licensing costs for Linux.
- Explicitly state that Linux VMs do not incur similar software charges, if that is the case, to help users understand the differences.
- Provide parity by listing any Linux-specific meters or confirming their absence.
- Consider a comparative table showing both Windows and Linux VM cost components under savings plans.
