Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing PowerShell as a management tool without mentioning Linux CLI alternatives, mentioning Windows and Linux images but providing more detail and default behaviors for Windows, and referencing Windows-centric tools (Az.LabServices PowerShell module) without Linux equivalents. There are no CLI or scripting examples for Linux users, and the only explicit command-line management option is PowerShell.
Recommendations:
- Include Azure CLI and/or Bash examples for managing labs, alongside or before PowerShell examples.
- Mention and link to cross-platform management tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST API) wherever PowerShell is referenced.
- Provide parity in instructions and screenshots for both Windows and Linux VM scenarios, including connection methods and credential management.
- Clarify default behaviors for both Windows and Linux images equally, and ensure that Linux-specific workflows are as detailed as Windows ones.
- Add troubleshooting and management guidance for Linux users, not just Windows/PowerShell users.
