Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows-specific benefits and tooling, such as Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows and SQL Server, and free Extended Security Updates for Windows Server. These features are described in detail, including step-by-step instructions for requesting ESU keys for Windows VMs, while Linux equivalents are only briefly mentioned or omitted. There are no Linux-specific examples, instructions, or benefits highlighted, and Windows features are discussed first and in greater depth.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit examples and instructions for Linux workloads, such as how to leverage Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux and supported distributions.
  • Provide parity in describing security update processes for Linux VMs, including how to manage updates and compliance in NC2 on Azure.
  • Add Linux-focused cost-saving opportunities and licensing details, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Ensure that Linux and open source tooling (e.g., KVM, libvirt) are discussed with equal prominence as Windows tools and benefits.
  • Present Windows and Linux benefits side-by-side, rather than listing Windows features first and in greater detail.
