Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on Windows Server and SQL Server licensing options with Azure Arc, providing detailed examples and workflows for Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux server licensing, cost management, or patching scenarios. All tools and processes referenced (e.g., Azure Update Manager, ESUs, product keys) are specific to Windows, and the narrative assumes a Windows-centric environment throughout.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent examples and guidance for Linux servers managed by Azure Arc, including licensing, cost management, and patching workflows.
- Explicitly state whether Linux servers are supported for pay-as-you-go licensing or ESUs, and describe any differences in management or billing.
- Include references to Linux-native tools (such as package managers, update mechanisms, or compliance tools) and how they integrate with Azure Arc.
- Provide cross-platform comparison tables or sections to clarify feature parity and highlight any Windows-specific limitations.
- Ensure that introductory and summary sections acknowledge both Windows and Linux server scenarios to avoid implicit Windows-first bias.
