Summary:
The documentation is heavily oriented toward Windows environments, with exclusive use of Windows tools (PowerShell scripts, IIS, RDGatewayFedAuth.msi, System Center VMM), and no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. All code and automation examples are in PowerShell, and the workflow assumes RDP and Windows-based gateway solutions. There are no instructions or examples for Linux-based remote desktop gateways, certificate management, or automation, and Linux users are not addressed.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-based examples for certificate creation and management (e.g., using OpenSSL or Linux CLI tools).
- Include instructions or references for setting up a remote desktop gateway on Linux (such as xrdp, FreeRDP, or Guacamole) and how to integrate with Azure DevTest Labs.
- Offer automation scripts in Bash or Azure CLI (not just PowerShell) for key steps such as certificate handling and lab configuration.
- Mention and document cross-platform RDP clients and their compatibility with token authentication.
- Clarify which steps or tools are Windows-specific and provide Linux alternatives where possible.
- Consider a section or callout for Linux administrators, outlining any differences or additional requirements.
