Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server-based Guest OS families (Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 SP1). There is no mention of Linux-based Guest OSes, nor any examples, configuration strings, or update processes for Linux. Windows development tools (Visual Studio, .NET Framework) are referenced, and no Linux equivalents or cross-platform SDKs are discussed. The page assumes all Azure Cloud Services Guest OSes are Windows, and all instructions, terminology, and recommendations are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Add information about Linux-based Guest OS releases if supported, including configuration strings, update processes, and compatibility matrices.
- Include examples and instructions for managing Linux-based Cloud Services, if available, such as update procedures, patching, and SDK compatibility.
- Reference Linux development tools (e.g., VS Code, JetBrains Rider, or command-line tools) and frameworks (e.g., .NET Core, Python, Java) where appropriate.
- Clarify in the introduction whether Azure Cloud Services supports Linux Guest OSes, and if not, provide a link to equivalent Linux documentation (such as Azure Virtual Machines or App Services).
- Ensure parity in update and retirement policy explanations for both Windows and Linux platforms, if Linux is supported.
