Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on creating and connecting to Windows-based labs, with all examples and instructions centered around Windows virtual machines and Remote Desktop (RDP) as the connection method. There is no mention of Linux-based lab images, nor are there instructions for connecting to Linux VMs (e.g., via SSH). The language and screenshots reinforce a Windows-centric workflow, and Linux/macOS users are not provided with equivalent guidance.
Recommendations
  • Include instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux-based lab VM (e.g., selecting Ubuntu or another Linux image from the Marketplace).
  • Provide guidance for connecting to Linux VMs using SSH, including how to download SSH keys or set up credentials, and how to connect from Windows, Linux, and macOS clients.
  • Explicitly mention that Azure Lab Services supports both Windows and Linux images, and clarify any differences in setup or connection steps.
  • Add troubleshooting tips specific to Linux/macOS users (e.g., SSH client usage, handling .pem files, etc.).
  • Where possible, present both Windows and Linux options side-by-side, or at least mention Linux alternatives in each relevant section.
