Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Cost calculations, licensing, and management tooling are heavily focused on Windows Server, SQL Server, and Microsoft System Center. Windows licensing and ESU (Extended Security Update) costs are detailed, while Linux is only briefly mentioned in amortization and support cost tables, with no specifics or examples. Management software costs are described for Windows and SQL Server scenarios, but Linux management is not addressed. There are no Linux-specific migration, licensing, or management examples, and Windows tools/patterns are presented first and in detail.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux server cost breakdowns, including licensing (if applicable), support, and management software options (e.g., Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu, etc.).
- Include Linux-specific migration strategies and examples, such as recommendations for Linux workloads to Azure IaaS, Azure Linux VM, or Azure Kubernetes Service.
- Describe management tooling and monitoring options for Linux (e.g., integration with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, or third-party tools).
- Present Linux cost and migration examples alongside Windows, not only as a footnote or in amortization tables.
- Clarify how Azure Migrate handles Linux workloads in assessments and business case calculations.
