Summary
The documentation page exhibits mild Windows bias. Windows-specific concepts (such as Windows IP meter and Windows software costs) are mentioned before or in more detail than Linux equivalents. There is a lack of Linux-specific examples, and the documentation refers to Windows licensing and Azure Hybrid Benefit without equivalent Linux licensing guidance. The compute meter is described as 'same as the Linux meter,' but no Linux-specific usage or cost scenarios are provided. Windows VMs and SQL Database are called out for software costs, but Linux VMs are not discussed in similar detail.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit Linux VM examples alongside Windows VM examples when discussing savings plan application and billing.
- Clarify how savings plans interact with Linux licensing and any associated costs, similar to the Windows IP meter and Hybrid Benefit explanations.
- Ensure that references to software costs and licensing cover both Windows and Linux scenarios, or explicitly state when Linux does not incur similar charges.
- Add parity in documentation by mentioning Linux-specific tools, patterns, or considerations where relevant.
- Review the order of presentation to avoid consistently mentioning Windows first when describing VM usage, billing, or savings plan application.
