Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server and SQL Server licensing and ESU costs in TCO calculations, referencing Microsoft System Center for management (applicable only to Windows/SQL scenarios), and omitting explicit Linux-specific examples or cost breakdowns. While Linux OS is mentioned in license amortization and support, there are no details or formulas provided for Linux licensing, management, or security costs, nor are Linux migration scenarios or tools discussed.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and cost formulas for Linux server licensing, management, and security, including common Linux distributions (e.g., RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu) and their support/subscription models.
- Include Linux-specific management tools (e.g., Ansible, Puppet, Chef, Nagios) in the management software cost breakdown, and clarify how their costs are assessed.
- Provide migration strategy examples for Linux workloads, including recommendations for PaaS/IaaS targets (e.g., Azure Linux VMs, Azure App Service for Linux, Azure Kubernetes Service with Linux nodes).
- Ensure that Linux scenarios are presented alongside Windows scenarios in all relevant tables and sections, rather than only referencing Windows first or exclusively.
- Clarify how security and monitoring costs are calculated for Linux servers, including Defender for Linux and any third-party solutions.
