Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by emphasizing Windows client operating systems, Windows-specific licensing (MSDN, Visual Studio subscriptions), and RDP as a primary remote access method. There is no mention of Linux-specific scenarios, tools, or licensing, and no examples are provided for Linux VM setup or access, despite Azure DevTest Labs supporting both Windows and Linux environments.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit references to Linux VM support in DevTest Labs, both in prerequisites and example scenarios.
- Provide guidance on using Linux images, including licensing and marketplace options.
- Mention SSH as a primary remote access method for Linux VMs, and provide parity in remote access instructions (e.g., 'connect via RDP (for Windows) or SSH (for Linux)').
- List Linux development/test scenarios alongside Windows scenarios in all relevant sections.
- Reference open source tools and workflows (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Slack) in addition to Microsoft tools for collaboration.
- Add example proof-of-concept plans that include Linux-based teams or mixed OS environments.
