Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server and SQL Server in cost calculations, licensing, and management tooling (e.g., System Center), with limited or no mention of Linux-specific scenarios, tools, or licensing. While Linux is briefly mentioned in license amortization and support, there are no detailed examples, cost breakdowns, or management considerations for Linux servers. Windows-centric tools and patterns (e.g., System Center, Windows ESU, Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows) are described in detail, while Linux equivalents are absent.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit examples and cost breakdowns for Linux servers, including common Linux distributions and their licensing/support models.
- Describe management tooling and monitoring options for Linux (e.g., integration with Azure Monitor, Update Management, and third-party tools commonly used in Linux environments).
- Add Linux-specific migration considerations, such as support for open-source databases, web servers, and application stacks.
- Ensure parity in describing extended support and security update options for Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu ESM, RHEL ELS) where applicable.
- Provide sample .csv import templates or appliance setup instructions that reference both Windows and Linux server scenarios.
- Balance the discussion of Windows and Linux in all tables and examples, ensuring Linux is not only mentioned but given equal detail.
