Summary
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows-centric tools (PowerShell, Visual Studio, Fiddler, Active Directory domain join) are referenced frequently, often without Linux/macOS equivalents or examples. Automation and scripting are described primarily with PowerShell, and links to quickstarts and templates are labeled as 'create-lab-windows-vm-*', with no explicit mention of Linux VM creation. Artifact examples and VM customization focus on Windows tools, and deletion of VMs is described via PowerShell script only. Linux options are mentioned in passing (e.g., ARM templates can define Windows or Linux environments), but are not given equal prominence or examples.
Recommendations
- Add explicit Linux/macOS examples for lab creation, VM provisioning, and automation (e.g., Bash, Azure CLI, Terraform for Linux VMs).
- Include Linux-specific tools and artifacts in customization examples (e.g., install Apache, NGINX, or other common Linux software).
- Provide equivalent instructions for deleting VMs/labs using Bash or Azure CLI, not just PowerShell.
- Balance references to Windows tools (Visual Studio, Fiddler, Active Directory) with Linux alternatives (VS Code, Wireshark, LDAP integration).
- Rename quickstart/template links to include both Windows and Linux VM creation, or provide parallel Linux-focused guides.
