Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on Windows VM software costs, listing only Windows Server-related meters and not mentioning Linux VM equivalents or their software cost implications. There are no examples, tables, or explanations for Linux VMs, which may lead readers to assume that only Windows VMs incur software costs or that Linux is not relevant to Azure savings plans.
Recommendations
- Add a section explicitly stating the software cost treatment for Linux VMs, clarifying whether Linux VMs incur any software charges under savings plans.
- Include tables or examples for Linux VM meters if applicable, or clearly state that Linux VMs do not have additional software meter charges.
- Provide parity in documentation structure by mentioning both Windows and Linux scenarios, even if Linux does not incur extra costs, to avoid implicit bias.
- Consider a comparison table summarizing software cost differences between Windows and Linux VMs under Azure savings plans.
