Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell (Az.LabServices PowerShell module) as the only command-line automation tool for managing labs, without mentioning equivalent Linux/CLI options. Windows patterns (such as remote desktop and password management) are described first or in more detail, while Linux-specific instructions are relegated to notes or linked articles. There are no direct examples or guidance for Linux CLI management, and Windows-centric tools are mentioned without Linux parity.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI and/or REST API examples for managing labs, alongside PowerShell, to provide cross-platform parity.
  • Mention Linux-compatible automation tools (e.g., Bash scripts, Azure CLI) wherever PowerShell is referenced.
  • Ensure that instructions for connecting to Linux VMs (SSH, graphical desktop) are as detailed and prominent as those for Windows RDP.
  • Add explicit Linux command-line examples for common tasks (creating, deleting labs, managing VMs) in the main documentation, not just in linked articles.
  • Clarify which features or steps differ for Linux and Windows, and provide side-by-side guidance where possible.
