Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All setup instructions for enabling nested virtualization are exclusively for Windows environments, specifically Windows 11 and Windows Server, using PowerShell scripts and Windows GUI tools. Hyper-V is the only supported virtualization platform, and Linux is only mentioned as a guest OS inside nested VMs, not as a host or for configuration. There are no instructions or examples for enabling nested virtualization on Linux-based template VMs, nor for using Linux-native virtualization technologies (e.g., KVM, QEMU). Troubleshooting and connectivity examples also rely on Windows tools and PowerShell cmdlets.
Recommendations
- Add explicit statements about Linux support or limitations for nested virtualization in Azure Lab Services.
- If Linux-based template VMs are supported, provide equivalent instructions for enabling nested virtualization using Linux tools (e.g., KVM, QEMU, libvirt).
- Include Linux command-line examples for networking and connectivity configuration, such as using iptables, firewalld, or netplan.
- Present setup instructions for both Windows and Linux hosts in parallel tabs or sections, rather than only Windows.
- Clarify whether Hyper-V is the only supported virtualization platform, and if so, explain why alternatives are not available.
- Offer troubleshooting steps for common Linux guest VM issues, not just Hyper-V/Windows-specific problems.
