Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All example images are Windows-based (Visual Studio on Windows), and the image requirements are exclusively for Windows OS (Windows 10/11 Enterprise). All command-line and configuration instructions use Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, DISM.exe, chkdsk, defrag), and UI instructions reference Windows features. There are no examples, instructions, or references for Linux images, tools, or workflows. Linux is not mentioned as a supported or considered platform.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit guidance on whether Linux images are supported for Dev Box, and if so, provide equivalent Linux image requirements.
  • Include examples of creating and preparing Linux images for use in Azure Compute Gallery, including references to Linux-compatible tools (e.g., waagent, cloud-init, relevant shell commands).
  • For each Windows-specific command or tool (e.g., sysprep, DISM, chkdsk, defrag), provide Linux equivalents or note if not applicable.
  • Clarify in prerequisites and requirements sections if the service is Windows-only, or explicitly state Linux support status.
  • Where UI or portal instructions are given, note any differences or additional steps for Linux-based images if supported.
