Summary
The documentation page focuses heavily on Windows VM software costs, listing only Windows Server-related meters and omitting any mention of Linux VM software costs or licensing. There are no examples or discussion of Linux or open-source VM scenarios, which may lead Linux users to question whether similar costs or considerations apply to them.
Recommendations
- Add a section clarifying software cost implications for Linux VMs (e.g., noting that Linux VMs typically do not incur additional OS licensing costs).
- Explicitly state that the listed meters apply only to Windows workloads and that Linux workloads are not subject to these charges.
- If there are any software meters relevant to Linux or other OSes, include them for completeness.
- Consider a comparison table showing differences in software cost treatment between Windows and Linux VMs under savings plans.
