Summary
The documentation is heavily Windows-centric, with all image requirements, examples, and tooling focused exclusively on Windows OS and Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, DISM, defrag, chkdsk). There are no examples or guidance for Linux or macOS images, nor any mention of how non-Windows users might interact with the Azure Compute Gallery or Dev Box. All command-line examples use Windows tools, and the prerequisites and supported images are strictly Windows-based.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state that only Windows images are supported, if that is a product limitation. If Linux images are supported, add equivalent Linux image requirements and examples.
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for image preparation steps (e.g., sysprep alternatives, disk cleanup commands, virtualization settings).
- Include CLI examples using Bash/Azure CLI for Linux/macOS users where possible, not just PowerShell.
- Clarify whether Dev Box supports Linux/macOS images, and if not, mention this limitation early in the documentation.
- If future support for Linux/macOS images is planned, add a note or roadmap link.
