Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server 2012 ESUs enabled by Azure Arc, with no mention of Linux systems, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform scenarios. All examples, terminology, and referenced tools are Windows-centric, and there are no instructions or guidance for Linux environments, even though Azure Arc supports both Windows and Linux servers. The documentation assumes the reader is managing Windows workloads, omitting Linux parity in billing, licensing, and operational patterns.
Recommendations
- Include a section clarifying how ESU billing and license management applies (or does not apply) to Linux servers managed through Azure Arc.
- Add examples or notes for Linux server scenarios, even if only to state that ESUs are not relevant, to help cross-platform administrators understand the scope.
- Reference Azure Arc capabilities for Linux servers and link to relevant documentation for Linux management and billing.
- Avoid language that assumes all Azure Arc-enabled servers are Windows; specify when statements are Windows-specific.
- If there are any billing or licensing features unique to Linux servers, document those for parity.
