Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell (Az.LabServices PowerShell module) as the only CLI automation tool, mentioning it in the main workflow and in the 'Next steps' without Linux CLI or cross-platform alternatives. Windows and Linux are both mentioned for VM images, but Windows patterns (e.g., remote desktop, password management) are described first or in more detail, and there are no explicit Linux shell or CLI examples. The documentation lacks parity in presenting Linux-native management tools or workflows, and does not provide Linux command-line automation options.
Recommendations
  • Include Azure CLI and/or Azure REST API examples for managing labs, which are cross-platform and work on Linux, macOS, and Windows.
  • When referencing PowerShell modules, also mention equivalent Azure CLI commands or scripts.
  • Provide explicit Linux shell (bash) examples for common management tasks, such as creating, listing, or deleting labs.
  • Ensure that Linux-specific workflows (e.g., SSH access, password management) are described with the same level of detail as Windows workflows.
  • Add references to Linux-friendly tools and automation patterns alongside Windows/PowerShell tools, not just as an afterthought or in separate articles.
