Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias, primarily in the benefits and licensing sections. Windows Server and SQL Server are mentioned first and in detail, with specific references to Windows-only features such as Extended Security Updates (ESU) and Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows. The process for requesting ESU keys is exclusively for Windows VMs, with no equivalent Linux guidance. While Linux is mentioned briefly as eligible for Azure Hybrid Benefit, there are no concrete examples or instructions for Linux users, and no Linux-specific features or support processes are described.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit examples and instructions for Linux-based workloads, such as how to leverage Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux and manage Linux VMs in NC2 on Azure.
  • Add details about support and lifecycle management for Linux VMs, including any relevant licensing, migration, or security update processes.
  • Balance the presentation of Windows and Linux benefits, mentioning Linux features and cost savings alongside Windows-specific ones.
  • If there are Linux equivalents to ESU or other Windows-only features, document them or clarify their absence.
  • Provide parity in step-by-step instructions for both Windows and Linux scenarios where applicable.
