Summary
The documentation page focuses almost exclusively on Windows software costs and meters, listing only Windows Server-related meter IDs and usage details. There is no mention of Linux or other OS software costs, nor any equivalent Linux meters or licensing considerations. The examples and tables are Windows-centric, and the absence of Linux information may cause confusion for users running Linux VMs on Azure.
Recommendations
- Add a section explicitly stating how savings plans apply to Linux VMs, including whether there are any software meters or costs for Linux.
- Provide parity by listing any Linux-specific meters if they exist, or clarify that Linux VMs do not incur additional software costs under savings plans.
- Include a comparison table showing differences between Windows and Linux VM software costs under savings plans.
- Ensure that examples and explanations do not assume Windows as the default or only scenario.
