Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server-based Guest OS families, with no mention of Linux-based Guest OSes, examples, or support. All configuration strings, compatibility notes, and recommendations (such as Visual Studio) are Windows-centric. There are no Linux equivalents, nor any guidance for Linux/macOS users, indicating a strong Windows bias.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Azure Cloud Services Guest OS is Windows-only, if that is the case, to avoid confusion for Linux/macOS users.
- If Linux-based Guest OS support exists or is planned, add equivalent documentation sections for Linux releases, configuration, and update processes.
- Provide guidance or links for users seeking Linux-based cloud solutions in Azure, such as Azure Virtual Machines or App Service on Linux.
- Clarify in the introduction that all examples and compatibility notes apply only to Windows Server Guest OS families.
- If any SDK/tooling is cross-platform, mention Linux/macOS support and provide relevant instructions.
