Summary
The documentation exclusively references Windows-based operating systems (Windows Server 2008/2012/2012 R2) and provides only Azure PowerShell scripts for determining OS family usage. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based cloud services, nor are cross-platform tools or CLI alternatives mentioned. The migration recommendations focus solely on Windows OS families and .NET frameworks, omitting any Linux or open-source stack considerations.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent Azure CLI or Azure Cloud Shell examples, which are cross-platform and can be used on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
- Explicitly state if the retirement notice only applies to Windows-based cloud services, or clarify the status for Linux-based services if applicable.
- Provide guidance for users running Linux-based workloads, if supported, or direct them to relevant documentation.
- Mention cross-platform tools and patterns (such as Azure Resource Manager templates or Bicep) where possible, instead of focusing solely on Windows-centric tools and scripting.
- If PowerShell is required, note that PowerShell Core is available cross-platform, and provide installation instructions for Linux/macOS users.
