Summary
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All setup instructions for enabling nested virtualization use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Windows features dialog) and focus exclusively on Hyper-V, which is only available on Windows. There are no Linux/macOS setup examples, nor are alternatives like KVM or VMware discussed. Even troubleshooting and connectivity instructions rely on Windows tools and PowerShell cmdlets, with Linux only mentioned as a guest OS inside Hyper-V VMs.
Recommendations
- Clarify early that only Hyper-V (Windows) is supported for nested virtualization in Azure Lab Services, and explicitly state that Linux/macOS hosts are not supported.
- If possible, provide guidance or links for Linux/macOS users about alternative approaches or limitations.
- Add a prominent note in the prerequisites and setup sections about the lack of Linux/macOS support.
- If future support for Linux virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM) is planned, mention this and provide a roadmap or workaround.
- Include troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux guest VMs (e.g., display issues, network configuration) in more detail.
