Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric. All examples and instructions reference Windows Server OS families, PowerShell scripts, and Windows development tools (Visual Studio, .NET Framework). There are no Linux equivalents or migration paths discussed, and the only script provided is for Azure PowerShell, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash alternatives.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Azure CLI or Bash scripts for identifying affected services, as Azure CLI is cross-platform and widely used on Linux.
- Clarify whether Linux-based cloud services are affected, and if not, explicitly state this to avoid confusion.
- Include migration guidance for Linux-based workloads if applicable, or a note that this retirement only impacts Windows-based guest OS families.
- Mention cross-platform development tools (e.g., VS Code, .NET Core/6+) where possible, not just Visual Studio and .NET Framework.
- Reorder or supplement instructions so that cross-platform or Linux options are presented alongside or before Windows-specific tools.
