Summary
The documentation is exclusively focused on Windows Server-based Guest OS families for Azure Cloud Services. All examples, configuration strings, and recommendations reference Windows Server versions and Windows-centric tooling (e.g., Visual Studio, .NET Framework, RDP). There is no mention of Linux-based Guest OS support, nor any guidance, examples, or parity for Linux users. The documentation assumes the reader is deploying on Windows and omits Linux entirely.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state in the introduction whether Linux-based Guest OS images are supported or not for Cloud Services. If not supported, clarify this limitation for cross-platform users.
- If Linux Guest OS support exists or is planned, add equivalent tables and update notes for Linux distributions, including release cadence, configuration strings, and supported SDK versions.
- Provide guidance for cross-platform development environments (e.g., VS Code, CLI tools) and deployment workflows that do not require Windows-specific tools.
- Include links or references to documentation for Linux-based workloads on Azure (e.g., Azure Virtual Machines, App Service Linux) for users seeking non-Windows options.
