Summary
The documentation page for Azure DevTest Labs scenarios demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, Visual Studio, Fiddler) and examples are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Automation and scripting references focus on PowerShell, with no mention of Bash or Linux shell alternatives. VM creation examples and quickstarts are labeled as 'create-lab-windows-vm', and there are no explicit Linux VM creation examples or references to Linux-specific tools or patterns. Artifact examples and customization options are Windows-centric, and Active Directory domain join is mentioned without reference to Linux identity solutions.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-focused examples for VM creation, including quickstarts and templates for common Linux distributions.
- Include Bash or Azure CLI scripting examples alongside PowerShell for automation tasks.
- Mention and provide examples of Linux tools and developer environments (e.g., VS Code, Git, Python, Node.js) in artifact and customization sections.
- Clarify that DevTest Labs supports both Windows and Linux environments, and provide parity in documentation for configuration, policy management, and automation.
- Reference Linux identity management options (e.g., LDAP, Kerberos) alongside Active Directory domain join artifacts.
- Ensure that links and diagrams do not exclusively reference Windows scenarios or tools.
