Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Cost models, licensing, and management tooling are heavily focused on Windows Server, SQL Server, and Microsoft System Center. Windows licensing and ESU calculations are detailed, while Linux is only briefly mentioned in amortization and support cost tables, with no specific examples or cost breakdowns for Linux workloads. Management software costs are described only for Windows and SQL scenarios. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-specific migration, licensing, or management tools, and Windows-related tools and patterns are consistently mentioned first or exclusively.
Recommendations
- Add explicit cost breakdowns and licensing details for Linux workloads, including common distributions and support models.
- Include examples and recommendations for Linux migration strategies, such as moving to Azure Linux VMs, Azure Container Instances, or Azure Kubernetes Service with Linux nodes.
- Describe management and monitoring options for Linux servers, such as integration with Azure Monitor, Log Analytics, and open-source tools.
- Ensure parity in describing security solutions for Linux (e.g., Defender for Linux, third-party options).
- Present Windows and Linux examples side-by-side where relevant, rather than focusing on Windows first.
- Clarify how Linux licensing/support is handled in TCO and migration calculations.
