Summary:
The documentation page exclusively covers Windows Server-based Guest OS families (Windows Server 2022, 2019, 2016, 2012 R2, 2012, 2008 R2 SP1) and their release history for Azure Cloud Services. There is no mention of Linux-based Guest OSes, no Linux configuration strings, and no Linux-specific guidance or parity. All references, examples, and recommendations (e.g., Visual Studio, .NET Framework, RDP) are Windows-centric, with no acknowledgment of Linux alternatives or support.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state in the introduction whether Linux-based Cloud Services Guest OSes are supported or not. If not, explain why.
- If Linux-based Guest OSes are supported for Cloud Services, add equivalent release tables, configuration strings, and update processes for major Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, Red Hat).
- Provide Linux-specific guidance for SDK compatibility, update processes, and management tools (e.g., using Azure CLI, SSH, Linux package managers).
- Include references to Linux tools and patterns (such as SSH instead of RDP, or using VS Code/JetBrains IDEs in addition to Visual Studio).
- If only Windows is supported, make this explicit at the top of the page to avoid confusion for Linux users.
