Summary
The documentation page for Azure Migrate's Business Case shows a clear Windows bias. Windows Server and SQL Server licensing, ESU, and management tooling (System Center) are discussed in detail, while Linux is only briefly mentioned in a few cost formulas and never described in terms of licensing, security, or management. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or migration strategies, and Windows scenarios are consistently presented first and in greater depth.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and cost breakdowns for Linux workloads, including common Linux distributions and their licensing/support models.
- Discuss Linux management and monitoring tools (e.g., integration with Azure Monitor, Update Manager for Linux, or third-party tools) alongside System Center for Windows.
- Include Linux security scenarios, such as Defender for Linux, SELinux, or other Linux-native security solutions.
- Present migration strategies and sizing/costing for Linux workloads (e.g., Apache, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Tomcat) with parity to Windows workloads.
- Ensure that Linux is mentioned equally and not just as an afterthought in cost tables and formulas.
- Provide Linux-specific sustainability and emissions calculations if they differ from Windows workloads.
