Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. The tutorial explicitly instructs users to select Windows 11 Pro as the VM image, and all subsequent configuration steps (such as enabling ICMP) use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell cmdlets). There are no Linux examples or instructions for equivalent tasks (e.g., enabling ICMP via firewall-cmd or ufw), and the only mention of Linux is a brief note suggesting SSH port should be allowed in NSG rules. The workflow and screenshots are tailored to Windows environments, and Linux users are left to infer or research their own steps.
Recommendations
  • Provide parallel instructions and screenshots for creating labs with Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS).
  • Include Linux-specific steps for enabling ICMP (e.g., using firewall-cmd, ufw, or iptables) on template VMs.
  • Show SSH connection examples for Linux VMs, including how to connect from Linux/macOS clients.
  • Clarify that the tutorial is applicable to both Windows and Linux, and offer guidance for choosing VM images based on user needs.
  • Where PowerShell is used, offer equivalent bash or shell commands for Linux.
  • Add troubleshooting tips for common Linux networking/firewall issues in Azure Lab Services.
