Summary
The documentation focuses almost exclusively on Windows Server and SQL Server licensing options via Azure Arc, with all examples and scenarios centered around Windows environments. There is no mention of Linux server licensing, cost management, or how Azure Arc features apply to Linux workloads. The structure and examples assume Windows as the primary use case, potentially leaving Linux users unclear about their options.
Recommendations
- Add a section describing how Azure Arc licensing and cost management applies to Linux servers, even if only to clarify that Linux OS licensing is not managed through Azure Arc.
- Include explicit statements about the scope of Azure Arc cost management for Linux workloads (e.g., monitoring, inventory, billing for other software, etc.).
- If SQL Server on Linux is supported, clarify whether pay-as-you-go licensing via Arc applies to those instances.
- Provide parity in examples, such as cost management for Linux servers, or note differences in licensing models.
