Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific benefits (such as free Extended Security Updates for Windows Server), referencing Windows licensing and Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows and SQL Server before mentioning Linux, and providing detailed instructions and processes only for Windows scenarios (e.g., requesting ESU keys for Windows VMs). There are no equivalent examples or instructions for Linux workloads, and the cost/benefit sections focus on Windows features and licensing. Linux is mentioned only briefly and generically, with no concrete examples or parity in guidance.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit examples and instructions for Linux workloads, such as how to leverage Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux and manage Linux VMs in NC2 on Azure.
  • Provide details on cost savings, licensing, and support processes for Linux environments, similar to those given for Windows.
  • Balance the documentation by listing Linux and Windows benefits together, rather than focusing on Windows first.
  • Add guidance for requesting support or security updates for Linux VMs, if available, to match the Windows ESU process.
  • Highlight open source and cross-platform management tools where relevant, and avoid exclusive focus on Windows-centric features.
