Summary
The documentation page focuses almost exclusively on Windows Server and SQL Server licensing options via Azure Arc, with all examples and scenarios centered on Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux licensing, Linux server management, or equivalent Linux tools. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., Azure Update Manager, ESUs for Windows Server) are referenced throughout, and Windows scenarios are presented first and exclusively.
Recommendations
- Add sections or examples describing how Azure Arc licensing and cost management applies to Linux servers, including any differences or limitations.
- Include Linux-specific licensing scenarios, such as integration with RHEL, SUSE, or other commercial Linux distributions, and how pay-as-you-go or subscription models work for those platforms.
- Mention Linux-compatible update and patch management tools available via Azure Arc, and clarify whether similar centralized billing and compliance features exist for Linux workloads.
- Ensure that examples and guidance are balanced between Windows and Linux, or explicitly state if features are Windows-only.
