Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples and instructions assume the use of Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, PowerShell cmdlets), and there is no mention of Linux-based workflows or tools for creating or importing images. The process is described exclusively for Windows images, with no guidance for users coming from Linux or other non-Windows environments.
Recommendations:
- Add a parallel section or notes for importing Linux images, including prerequisites and preparation steps specific to Linux distributions.
- Provide examples using Linux-native tools (e.g., qemu-img for disk conversion, KVM/VirtualBox for VM management) alongside Hyper-V and PowerShell.
- Mention and link to Azure documentation for uploading and preparing Linux VMs/images.
- Clarify in the introduction whether the process is Windows-only or provide cross-platform guidance where possible.
- Include command-line examples for Linux (bash, az CLI) in addition to or instead of PowerShell.
- If Azure Lab Services only supports Windows images, state this explicitly and provide alternatives or workarounds for Linux users.
