Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. It exclusively describes nested virtualization in the context of Hyper-V, which is only available on Windows-based lab VMs. All configuration steps, recommendations, and examples reference Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell cmdlets like Set-VM), and there are no Linux-specific instructions or examples. Linux is only mentioned as a possible guest OS, not as a host or in any configuration steps. The documentation does not discuss alternatives to Hyper-V or provide parity for Linux-based workflows.
Recommendations
- Clarify early that nested virtualization in Azure Lab Services is currently only supported with Windows-based host VMs, but explicitly mention this limitation and any roadmap for Linux support.
- Provide Linux-focused guidance for guest VM configuration, such as networking, disk formats, and resource allocation, including relevant Linux commands and tools (e.g., using virsh, qemu, or KVM for nested virtualization where supported).
- Include examples of managing Linux guest VMs inside Hyper-V, such as using cloud-init, SSH, or Linux-specific automation tools.
- If possible, discuss or link to Azure solutions for nested virtualization on Linux hosts, or explain why this is not supported.
- Balance references to PowerShell and Hyper-V Manager with equivalent Linux administration tools and scripts for guest VM management.
- Add troubleshooting and best practices sections specific to Linux guest VMs, including integration services, drivers, and performance tuning.
