Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows and Hyper-V, with instructions and examples exclusively referencing Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or examples for enabling or managing nested virtualization, and Linux is only mentioned as a guest OS, not as a host or in configuration steps. Windows-specific patterns (like PowerShell commands and Hyper-V features) are presented without alternatives for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Clarify early that nested virtualization in Azure Lab Services is only supported on Windows-based lab VMs, and explicitly state that Linux/macOS hosts are not supported.
- Provide a section explaining why Linux/macOS hosts are not supported, and link to Azure documentation on alternatives for Linux-based virtualization.
- Where possible, offer guidance or links for users who need Linux-based nested virtualization (e.g., using other Azure services or VM types).
- Include Linux guest VM configuration examples (e.g., networking, disk formats, vCPU/memory settings) alongside Windows examples.
- If PowerShell commands are used, note that these are Windows-only and suggest any cross-platform alternatives if available.
