Summary
The documentation page shows mild Windows bias. In the best practices section, recommendations for B-Series VM sizing specify 'at least B2 for Windows machines' but do not mention Linux equivalents or considerations. The cost-saving licensing benefit (Azure Hybrid Benefit) is discussed only for Windows Server, with no mention of Linux licensing or cost-saving features. Examples and recommendations are generally Windows-centric, with Linux mentioned only in pricing links and a next-steps link to Linux VM creation, but not in the main body of cost optimization advice.
Recommendations
- Include equivalent recommendations for Linux VMs, such as optimal B-Series sizing for Linux workloads.
- Discuss any Linux-specific cost optimization features, such as reserved instance savings, open-source licensing advantages, or relevant Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux (if applicable).
- When mentioning licensing benefits, clarify differences for Linux and Windows, and link to Linux cost-saving documentation where appropriate.
- Ensure examples and advice are balanced between Windows and Linux, especially in sections on automation, disk selection, and policy enforcement.
