Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools
Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing PowerShell and Visual Studio as primary tools for post-migration operations, with examples and links focused on PowerShell usage. There is a lack of explicit Linux or cross-platform CLI examples for key tasks such as retrieving deployment files and managing certificates. The mention of Visual Studio further reinforces a Windows-centric approach, and Linux-native tools or workflows are not discussed.
Recommendations
  • Add Azure CLI examples alongside PowerShell for all resource management operations, especially for retrieving .csdef and .cscfg files.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for automation scripts and provide sample Bash or shell scripts where applicable.
  • Include instructions for certificate management using Azure CLI and REST API, highlighting Linux usage.
  • Reference editors and IDEs available on Linux (e.g., VS Code) for deployment file updates, rather than only Visual Studio.
  • Ensure that all migration and management steps are documented with both Windows and Linux workflows, and clarify tool availability on each platform.

Windows First Missing Linux Example 🔧 Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on Windows Server OS families, Windows-based configuration files, and PowerShell scripts. There are no references to Linux-based guest OS families, tools, or migration paths. All examples and recommendations assume a Windows environment, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include information about Linux-based guest OS families, if supported by Azure Cloud Services, and clarify if this retirement notice is Windows-only.
  • Provide equivalent command-line examples using Azure CLI (cross-platform) or Bash scripts, not just Azure PowerShell.
  • Mention migration or support options for Linux workloads, if applicable, or explicitly state that the guidance is only relevant for Windows-based services.
  • Balance references to development tools (e.g., mention VS Code or cross-platform SDKs, not just Visual Studio for Windows).
  • Clarify in the introduction whether Linux users are affected or not, to avoid confusion.

Windows Only 🔧 Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
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.
