Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on Windows Server and SQL Server licensing and management via Azure Arc, with all examples, scenarios, and tools centered around Windows environments. There are no references to Linux server licensing, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform considerations. Azure Update Manager and other tools are described only in the context of Windows, and the narrative assumes Windows as the default operating system for hybrid cloud licensing.
Recommendations
- Add sections or examples describing how Azure Arc licensing and cost management applies to Linux servers, including any differences or similarities in licensing models.
- Include Linux-specific tools and workflows for patching and compliance, such as integration with native Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) and how Azure Arc interacts with them.
- Provide parity in documentation by mentioning Linux scenarios alongside Windows ones, especially in introductory and summary sections.
- Clarify whether pay-as-you-go or ESU models are available for Linux workloads, and if not, explicitly state the scope of current support.
- Offer guidance for administrators managing mixed Windows and Linux environments, including best practices for cost management, compliance, and reporting across platforms.
