Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and Hyper-V, with all instructions and examples assuming a Windows environment. Steps reference Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell), and enabling nested virtualization is only described for Windows-based lab VMs. There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples, and alternative virtualization platforms are explicitly unsupported. Linux is only mentioned as a guest OS, not as a host or management environment.
Recommendations
  • Clarify early that nested virtualization in Azure Lab Services is only supported for Windows-based lab VMs, and explain why Linux/macOS hosts are not supported.
  • Provide explicit guidance or links for Linux users who may want to run Linux guest VMs, including any relevant configuration steps or best practices.
  • If possible, mention alternative approaches for Linux/macOS users who require nested virtualization, or suggest Azure services that support Linux-based virtualization.
  • Include a comparison table or section outlining feature parity and limitations for Linux/macOS users.
  • Add a note on the lack of support for non-Hyper-V virtualization platforms, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for users needing VMware, KVM, or other solutions.
