Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a subtle Windows bias. The example lab image is hardcoded to a Windows 11 desktop image, with no mention of Linux alternatives or how to select them. In the 'Next steps' section, only Azure PowerShell and Az.LabServices cmdlets are referenced, which are traditionally Windows-centric tools, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash equivalents. There are no examples or guidance for Linux/macOS users regarding VM images, connection profiles (e.g., SSH), or tooling.
Recommendations
- Include examples using Linux VM images (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and show how to select them in the Python code.
- Add guidance for configuring SSH access (webSshAccess/clientSshAccess) for Linux labs, not just RDP for Windows.
- Reference Azure CLI and Bash scripting alternatives in the 'Next steps' section, alongside PowerShell.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility and provide parity in instructions for Linux/macOS users.
