Summary
The documentation provides only Windows VM creation examples, specifically instructing users to select a 'Windows Server 2019 Datacenter' base when adding a VM to the lab. There are no examples or guidance for creating Linux-based VMs, nor are Linux-specific options, patterns, or troubleshooting tips mentioned. This may lead Linux/macOS users to believe that only Windows VMs are supported or recommended, creating friction for those intending to use Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Include examples for creating Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside Windows examples.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux VM images are supported in DevTest Labs.
  • Provide guidance on Linux-specific settings, such as SSH key authentication, default usernames, and password requirements.
  • Add screenshots and walkthroughs for Linux VM creation steps.
  • Reference documentation for connecting to Linux VMs (e.g., via SSH) and managing Linux artifacts.
