Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server-based Guest OS families for Azure Cloud Services. All examples, configuration strings, and recommendations are for Windows Server versions (2012, 2012 R2, 2016, 2019, 2022). There is no mention of Linux-based Guest OSes, nor any guidance or examples for Linux users. Recommendations for development environments (e.g., Visual Studio) and features (e.g., .NET Framework) are Windows-centric, with no Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Azure Cloud Services Guest OS is Windows-only, if that is the case, to avoid confusion for Linux users.
- If Linux-based Guest OSes are supported or planned, add equivalent documentation sections for Linux families, including configuration strings, update processes, and SDK compatibility.
- Provide guidance for cross-platform development, such as using Azure SDKs from Linux/macOS, or alternatives to Visual Studio (e.g., VS Code, CLI tools).
- Clarify in the introduction that Linux-based workloads should use Azure Virtual Machines or other services, and link to relevant documentation.
