Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically using Hyper-V Manager and PowerShell for image preparation and conversion. All examples and instructions assume Windows tooling and workflows, with no mention of Linux or macOS equivalents for creating, converting, or uploading images. This creates friction for users on non-Windows platforms who wish to import custom images into Azure Lab Services.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for preparing and converting images using Linux tools such as qemu-img and KVM.
  • Include examples for uploading VHDs using Azure CLI or AzCopy on Linux/macOS.
  • Clarify whether images created on Linux (e.g., from KVM/QEMU) are supported and provide guidance for those workflows.
  • Present cross-platform steps or explicitly state Windows-only requirements where applicable.
  • Provide parity in screenshots and step-by-step guides for Linux/macOS users.
