Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It consistently prioritizes Windows Server and PowerShell-based workflows, especially for host preparation, appliance deployment, and credential delegation. Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell, CertUtil, Local Group Policy Editor) are referenced exclusively, with no Linux alternatives or parity for host management, scripting, or appliance setup. Linux is mentioned only as a supported guest OS for discovery, with minimal guidance for Linux-specific scenarios and no Linux host or management examples.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for environments where Hyper-V hosts run on Windows Server Core or are managed remotely from Linux/macOS clients.
  • Provide Linux-based alternatives for script execution, credential validation, and appliance deployment (e.g., Bash scripts, OpenSSH, Linux management tools).
  • Include parity for credential delegation and appliance setup using Linux tools (such as SSH, Ansible, or other cross-platform automation frameworks).
  • Reference cross-platform management options (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) where possible, and clarify which steps are Windows-only.
  • Add troubleshooting and validation steps for Linux-based guest discovery, including common issues and log locations.
  • Clearly indicate Windows-only requirements and suggest workarounds or alternatives for users in mixed-OS environments.
