Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All setup instructions for enabling nested virtualization are exclusively for Windows (Windows 11, Windows Server) and use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows features dialog, Hyper-V). There are no instructions or examples for enabling nested virtualization on Linux-based template VMs, nor is there any mention of Linux virtualization technologies (e.g., KVM, QEMU). Even troubleshooting and connectivity scenarios focus on Windows tools and Hyper-V, with only brief mention of Ubuntu as a nested guest, not as a host.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for enabling nested virtualization on Linux template VMs, including supported distributions and steps for installing/configuring KVM or QEMU.
- Provide parity in example scripts and tooling, such as Bash commands or Ansible playbooks for Linux environments.
- Mention Linux virtualization technologies and clarify support status for nested virtualization with Linux hosts in Azure Lab Services.
- Include troubleshooting steps and connectivity examples relevant to Linux hosts (e.g., using virsh, virt-manager, or libvirt tools).
- Clearly state any limitations or lack of support for Linux hosts at the beginning of the documentation if Windows is the only supported platform.
