Summary
The documentation page focuses almost exclusively on Windows Server and SQL Server licensing via Azure Arc, with all examples, features, and workflows centered around Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux server licensing, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform scenarios. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., product keys, ESUs, Azure Update Manager for Windows) are referenced, while Linux licensing and management are omitted.
Recommendations
- Add sections describing how Azure Arc licensing and cost management apply to Linux servers, including any differences or similarities in workflows.
- Provide Linux-specific examples and mention Linux-compatible tools for patching, compliance, and cost management.
- Clarify whether pay-as-you-go or ESU-like models exist for Linux distributions under Azure Arc, or explicitly state if they do not.
- Ensure that documentation addresses hybrid environments with both Windows and Linux servers, offering guidance for administrators managing both.
- Include links to Linux server management documentation within Azure Arc where relevant.
