Summary
The documentation page focuses almost exclusively on Windows VM software costs, listing only Windows Server-related meters and not mentioning Linux VM software costs or licensing. There are no examples, explanations, or tables for Linux VMs, nor any discussion of how savings plans apply to Linux workloads. This creates a perception that only Windows users need to consider software costs, potentially confusing or excluding Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add a section clarifying how savings plans apply to Linux VMs, including any relevant software costs (if any) or explicitly state that Linux VMs do not incur additional software charges.
- Include a comparison table or note for Linux and Windows VMs, highlighting differences in software metering and costs.
- If there are scenarios where Linux VMs have software costs (e.g., third-party images), document those as well.
- Make it clear early in the document that the listed meters are Windows-specific, and provide guidance for users running Linux workloads.
