Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific VM images (e.g., 'microsoftwindowsdesktop.windows-11.win11-21h2-pro') without mentioning or providing examples for Linux images. The connection profile in the code sample enables RDP (a Windows protocol) and disables SSH (commonly used for Linux), further reinforcing a Windows-centric approach. Additionally, the 'Next steps' section highlights Azure PowerShell and Az.LabServices cmdlets, which are more commonly associated with Windows environments, without mentioning equivalent CLI or Linux-friendly tools.
Recommendations
  • Include examples using Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in addition to Windows images.
  • Demonstrate connection profiles that enable SSH access (webSshAccess/clientSshAccess) for Linux VMs.
  • In the 'Next steps' section, add references to Azure CLI and relevant Linux command-line tools for managing labs.
  • Where possible, provide parallel code snippets or configuration options for both Windows and Linux scenarios.
  • Clarify in the documentation that both Windows and Linux labs are supported, and guide users on how to select and configure each.
