Summary
The documentation provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a lab and VM in Azure DevTest Labs, but when guiding users to create a VM, it exclusively references a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter image and does not mention or provide examples for Linux-based VM creation. This may lead users to assume Windows is the default or only supported option, and Linux users may lack guidance for their use case.
Recommendations
  • Include explicit instructions and screenshots for creating a lab VM using a popular Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) alongside the Windows example.
  • When listing base images, mention both Windows and Linux options, and clarify that the process is similar for either OS.
  • Add notes or tips for Linux-specific configuration steps (e.g., SSH key setup, default user names).
  • Ensure that any references to VM configuration (artifacts, networking, etc.) highlight any differences or considerations for Linux VMs.
