Summary
The documentation page focuses almost exclusively on Windows VM software costs and Windows-specific meters, without mentioning Linux VM equivalents or clarifying that Linux VMs do not incur similar software charges. There are no examples or discussion of Linux or open-source VM scenarios, which may leave Linux users uncertain about how savings plans apply to their workloads.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that Linux VMs do not incur additional software meter charges under savings plans, if accurate.
- Add a section or table for Linux VM software meters (or clarify their absence), to provide parity and transparency.
- Include examples or notes for users running Linux or other non-Windows operating systems to clarify cost implications.
- Consider a brief comparison table showing differences in software costs between Windows and Linux VMs under savings plans.
