Summary
The documentation page focuses almost exclusively on Windows VM software costs and related meters, with no mention of Linux VM software costs or examples. The content assumes the reader is using Windows, omitting any discussion of Linux or open-source software licensing in the context of Azure savings plans.
Recommendations
- Add a section explicitly addressing Linux VM software costs, even if to clarify that Linux VMs typically do not incur additional software charges beyond infrastructure.
- Include examples or tables for Linux VM meters if applicable, or state clearly that Linux VMs are not affected by the listed software meters.
- Provide parity in documentation by mentioning both Windows and Linux scenarios when discussing savings plans and software costs.
- Consider adding a brief comparison table showing differences in software cost treatment between Windows and Linux VMs under Azure savings plans.
