Summary
The documentation page exclusively describes Azure Guest OS releases for Windows Server families (Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 SP1), with no mention of Linux-based Guest OS options or examples. All configuration strings, compatibility notes, and recommendations (e.g., Visual Studio, .NET Framework, RDP password requirements) are specific to Windows environments and tools. There are no Linux equivalents, nor any guidance for Linux users, indicating a strong Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state in the introduction whether Linux-based Guest OS options are supported or not for Azure Cloud Services, and link to Linux documentation if available.
- If Linux Guest OS support exists, add equivalent tables and release notes for Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and their update cycles.
- Provide parity in tooling recommendations, such as mentioning cross-platform SDKs, Linux-compatible development environments, and update mechanisms.
- Include examples or guidance for managing Guest OS updates from Linux environments, if supported.
- If only Windows is supported, clarify this limitation prominently to avoid confusion for Linux users.
