Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell (Az.LabServices module) as the only CLI automation tool for managing labs, without mentioning Linux-friendly alternatives (such as Azure CLI or REST API). Windows and Linux VM images are mentioned, but Windows patterns (like remote desktop) are described first, and Linux-specific instructions are relegated to notes or linked articles. No Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples are provided, and the only automation example is PowerShell, which is traditionally Windows-centric.
Recommendations
  • Add equivalent examples using Azure CLI and/or REST API for managing labs, alongside PowerShell.
  • Explicitly mention cross-platform management options, such as Azure CLI, and provide sample commands for Linux/macOS users.
  • When discussing remote access, present SSH (Linux) and RDP (Windows) options together, rather than focusing on Windows patterns first.
  • Include troubleshooting and automation guidance for Linux users, not just PowerShell.
  • Ensure that all steps and screenshots are applicable to both Windows and Linux users, or clearly indicate platform-specific differences.
