Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically Windows 11 and Windows Server, with all setup instructions and tooling focused on Hyper-V, PowerShell, and Windows GUI tools. No Linux or macOS setup examples or alternatives are provided, and enabling nested virtualization is described exclusively for Windows-based template VMs. Linux is only mentioned as a guest OS within Hyper-V, not as a host or for configuration steps.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation that nested virtualization in Azure Lab Services is only supported for Windows-based template VMs, if that is the case. If Linux-based nested virtualization is possible, provide equivalent instructions for Linux hosts (e.g., using KVM/QEMU).
- If Linux hosts are not supported, explicitly state this limitation in the prerequisites and introduction.
- If Linux support is planned or possible, add Linux-specific setup instructions, including command-line examples for enabling nested virtualization (e.g., using libvirt, KVM, or QEMU).
- Provide troubleshooting steps relevant to Linux nested VMs and hosts, not just Hyper-V.
- Include parity in examples, such as showing both Windows and Linux guest VM configuration and connectivity steps.
