Summary
The documentation page for Microsoft Dev Box deployment is heavily oriented towards Windows environments. It exclusively references Windows-based management tools (Microsoft Intune, Entra ID, Active Directory), Windows device management, and Windows-specific configuration profiles. Examples and customization tasks mention Windows package managers (WinGet, Chocolatey) and PowerShell scripts, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform scenarios. There are no examples or guidance for deploying or managing Linux-based dev boxes, nor are Linux-specific tools or patterns discussed.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance and examples for deploying Linux-based dev boxes, including image selection, customization, and management.
  • Include Linux package managers (e.g., apt, yum, zypper) and shell scripting (bash) in customization catalog examples alongside WinGet, Chocolatey, and PowerShell.
  • Clarify which features (such as Intune device management, conditional access, and privilege management) are available or not available for Linux dev boxes.
  • Provide parity in troubleshooting and monitoring guidance for Linux dev boxes (e.g., logs, compliance reporting).
  • Mention cross-platform developer scenarios and highlight any limitations or differences between Windows and Linux dev boxes.
  • Ensure that references to 'device' or 'dev box' are not implicitly limited to Windows, and specify when instructions are OS-specific.
