Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows Server 2012 environments, with all examples and scenarios exclusively referencing Windows Server hosts, VMs, and licensing models. There are no examples or guidance for Linux servers, nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned. The documentation assumes the reader is managing Windows infrastructure and does not address cross-platform or Linux-specific considerations, despite Azure Arc supporting Linux servers.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent licensing and provisioning guidance for Linux servers managed via Azure Arc, even if ESUs are not applicable, to clarify cross-platform support.
- Add scenario-based examples that involve Linux VMs or mixed Windows/Linux environments to demonstrate parity and integration.
- Explicitly mention any limitations or differences for Linux servers in the context of Azure Arc ESU licensing, and provide links to Linux-specific documentation where relevant.
- Ensure that onboarding and management instructions reference both Windows and Linux tooling (e.g., Bash, SSH, Linux agents) where applicable.
- Consider adding a section that addresses how organizations with hybrid Windows/Linux estates should approach ESU provisioning and Azure Arc management.
