Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing only a Windows Server 2019 Datacenter example when adding a VM to the lab, without mentioning or illustrating how to create a Linux-based VM. There are no Linux-specific instructions, screenshots, or references to Linux images, tools, or patterns. The documentation implicitly assumes Windows as the default, which may mislead or disadvantage users seeking to deploy Linux environments.
Recommendations
  • Include parallel instructions and screenshots for creating a Linux VM (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in the 'Add a VM to the lab' section.
  • Explicitly mention that both Windows and Linux images are supported, and provide guidance on selecting a Linux base image.
  • Add notes or tips about Linux-specific configuration options (e.g., SSH key authentication, default usernames, artifact installation differences).
  • Where possible, use neutral language and examples that apply to both Windows and Linux, or provide side-by-side examples.
  • Reference documentation or quickstarts for deploying Linux VMs in DevTest Labs.
