Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, focusing exclusively on importing Windows images using Hyper-V Manager and PowerShell, with no mention of Linux or macOS workflows, tools, or equivalent steps. All examples, prerequisites, and instructions assume a Windows environment, and Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V, PowerShell) are referenced throughout. There are no Linux alternatives or guidance for users with non-Windows physical labs.
Recommendations
  • Add a section describing how to import images from Linux-based physical labs, including supported formats (e.g., raw, qcow2) and conversion steps.
  • Provide examples using Linux-native tools (e.g., qemu-img for disk conversion, Azure CLI for uploads) and workflows for Linux/macOS users.
  • Clarify whether Azure Lab Services supports non-Windows images, and if so, provide parity documentation for those scenarios.
  • Where PowerShell is referenced, also include equivalent Azure CLI or Bash commands.
  • Explicitly state any platform limitations or requirements up front, so non-Windows users can assess applicability.
