Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively using Windows-based VM examples (Standard_DS1_v2 Windows virtual machine) and discussing Windows software costs, without providing equivalent Linux VM examples or mentioning Linux-specific considerations. The focus on Windows VMs and related software costs may lead Linux users to feel unsupported or unclear about how reservations apply to Linux workloads.
Recommendations
- Include parallel examples using popular Linux VM SKUs (e.g., Standard_DS1_v2 running Ubuntu or CentOS) alongside Windows examples.
- Explicitly state how reservation usage and billing differ (or do not differ) for Linux VMs, including any software cost differences.
- Add a section or note clarifying that the reservation process applies to both Windows and Linux VMs, and highlight any Linux-specific details.
- Provide screenshots or CSV excerpts for Linux VM scenarios to ensure parity in guidance.
- Link to documentation about Linux VM licensing and reservation implications, if available.
