Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by focusing heavily on Windows Server, SQL Server, Hyper-V, and Microsoft management tools (e.g., System Center, Windows ESU). Linux is only briefly mentioned in passing (e.g., in license amortization and support), with no detailed examples, cost breakdowns, or migration scenarios specific to Linux workloads. There are no Linux-specific tools, patterns, or parity in the discussion of migration, management, or security. All detailed examples, cost models, and management scenarios are centered on Windows environments.
Recommendations
- Include explicit examples and cost breakdowns for Linux workloads, such as common Linux distributions and open-source database/application stacks.
- Discuss Linux-specific migration scenarios, including considerations for licensing, support, and open-source management tools.
- Mention and provide parity for Linux management and monitoring tools (e.g., integration with Azure Monitor for Linux, Linux patch management, open-source backup solutions).
- Clarify how the Azure Migrate appliance discovers and assesses Linux servers, and provide links to Linux-specific guidance.
- Ensure that Linux is referenced alongside Windows in all relevant tables, cost models, and migration strategies, not just as an afterthought.
