Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It exclusively discusses nested virtualization in the context of Hyper-V, which is only available on Windows-based lab VMs. All configuration steps, recommendations, and examples use Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell cmdlets) and reference Windows-centric documentation. There are no Linux-based setup examples, nor are alternative Linux virtualization tools (such as KVM or VirtualBox) mentioned. Linux is only referenced as a possible guest OS, not as a host or in any configuration steps.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements clarifying that nested virtualization is not supported for Linux-based host VMs in Azure Lab Services, and explain the technical reasons.
- Provide parity by including examples of how Linux-based guest VMs can be configured and managed within Hyper-V, including any limitations or special considerations.
- If Azure Lab Services ever supports nested virtualization on Linux hosts, include equivalent instructions using Linux virtualization tools (e.g., KVM, libvirt, virt-manager), and provide command-line examples for Linux.
- Reference Linux documentation and best practices for nested virtualization, not just for running Linux as a guest but also for host configuration if/when supported.
- Consider adding a comparison table of virtualization options and their support status on Azure Lab Services for both Windows and Linux hosts.
