Summary
The documentation page focuses exclusively on Windows VM software costs and related meters, without mentioning Linux or other operating systems. There are no examples or explanations for Linux VM scenarios, nor is there any discussion of software costs or meters that might apply to non-Windows environments. This creates a Windows-first perspective and omits information relevant to Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add a section explicitly addressing software costs for Linux VMs, even if to state that there are no additional software meters for standard Linux distributions.
- Include a comparative table or statement clarifying how savings plans apply to both Windows and Linux VMs.
- If there are software costs for Linux (e.g., for premium distributions or third-party software), list those meters as well.
- Use inclusive language throughout, such as 'Windows and Linux VMs', rather than only referencing Windows.
- Provide links to documentation about licensing and costs for Linux and other non-Windows OSes in Azure.
