Summary
The documentation page consistently uses Windows-based virtual machines (VMs) as the default example and discusses Windows software costs in detail, without providing equivalent Linux-based examples or mentioning Linux-specific considerations. There are no Linux VM scenarios, nor are there references to Linux software costs or Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux. This creates a Windows-centric perspective and omits guidance for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add parallel examples using Linux VMs (e.g., Standard_DS1_v2 running Ubuntu or Red Hat) alongside Windows examples.
- Discuss Linux-specific considerations, such as the absence of additional software charges for most Linux distributions.
- Mention Azure Hybrid Benefit as it applies to Linux (if relevant), or clarify that it is Windows-only.
- Ensure that tables and screenshots include both Windows and Linux VM reservation scenarios.
- Include a note or section addressing differences in reservation usage and billing for Linux VMs.
