Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific benefits (such as Azure Hybrid Benefit and Extended Security Updates for Windows Server), providing detailed instructions and links for Windows licensing and support, and omitting equivalent Linux-focused examples or benefits. While Linux is briefly mentioned in the context of Azure Hybrid Benefit, there are no concrete examples, instructions, or links for Linux users. The cost and support sections are heavily focused on Windows scenarios, and the process for obtaining security updates is described only for Windows VMs.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent instructions and benefits for Linux VMs, such as how to obtain extended support or security updates for Linux distributions on NC2 on Azure.
  • Provide links to Linux product terms and documentation, similar to those given for Windows and SQL Server.
  • Include examples and guidance for Linux licensing reuse and migration under Azure Hybrid Benefit, with step-by-step instructions if applicable.
  • Balance the discussion of cost savings and support to include Linux scenarios, not just Windows.
  • Where Windows-specific tools or processes are described (e.g., ESU keys), offer parallel Linux examples or clarify any differences.
