Summary:
The documentation exclusively covers Windows-based Guest OS families (Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 SP1) and related .NET Framework versions, with no mention of Linux-based Guest OS options, examples, or parity. All configuration strings, compatibility notes, and update processes are Windows-centric. There are references to Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, RDP), and the terminology assumes Windows as the only platform. No Linux equivalents, distributions, or instructions are provided.
Recommendations:
- Explicitly state in the introduction whether Linux-based Guest OS options are available for Azure Cloud Services (classic) and, if not, clarify this limitation.
- If Linux Guest OS support exists or is planned, add equivalent sections for Linux Guest OS families, including release tables, update processes, and compatibility notes.
- Provide parity in tooling recommendations (e.g., suggest cross-platform tools or Linux alternatives to Visual Studio and RDP where applicable).
- Include examples or references for managing and updating Linux-based roles if supported, or link to relevant Linux documentation.
- Review and update terminology to be inclusive of both Windows and Linux where possible, or clearly scope the document to Windows if Linux is not supported.
