Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All example images are Windows-based (Windows 10/11, Visual Studio), and all image requirements and optimization steps are specific to Windows OS. Instructions for image preparation use Windows-specific tools and commands (Sysprep, DISM, PowerShell, defrag, chkdsk), with no mention of Linux equivalents or support for Linux images. The documentation does not provide any guidance or examples for configuring or optimizing Linux-based images, nor does it mention Linux compatibility or requirements.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support statements for Linux images, including any requirements or limitations.
- Provide Linux-based example images and step-by-step instructions for preparing and optimizing Linux VM images for Azure Compute Gallery and Dev Box.
- Include Linux-specific commands and tools (e.g., cloud-init, waagent, parted, e2fsck, etc.) for image generalization, disk cleanup, and optimization.
- Clarify whether Microsoft Dev Box supports Linux images, and if not, state this clearly at the beginning of the documentation.
- If Linux is supported, add parity in troubleshooting, permissions, and gallery attachment/removal instructions for Linux environments.
