Summary:
The documentation page exclusively discusses Windows-based Guest OS families (Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2) and .NET Framework versions, with no mention of Linux-based Guest OS options, examples, or support. All configuration strings, compatibility notes, and update processes are centered on Windows Server. There are references to Windows-specific tools (Visual Studio, RDP), and no Linux equivalents or cross-platform considerations are provided.
Recommendations:
- Add a section explaining the availability (or lack thereof) of Linux-based Guest OS options for Azure Cloud Services, and clarify if this documentation is Windows-only by design.
- If Linux-based Cloud Services are supported, provide parity tables and update histories for Linux Guest OS images, including supported distributions and versions.
- Include examples or references for managing and updating Linux-based roles, if applicable, such as using SSH instead of RDP, and Linux-native tools or SDKs.
- Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., Visual Studio, RDP) are mentioned, offer Linux alternatives (e.g., VS Code, SSH) or clarify platform limitations.
- Explicitly state in the introduction or scope that this documentation is only relevant for Windows-based Cloud Services if Linux is not supported, to avoid confusion.
