Introduction
Microsoft virtualization refers to a set of technologies and solutions developed by Microsoft for creating and managing virtual machines (VMs) and virtualized environments. These technologies enable the running of multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server or host system. Microsoft's virtualization offerings include Hyper-V, a hypervisor for creating and managing VMs, as well as other tools and services that support virtualization, such as Azure Virtual Machines, Virtual Machine Manager, and Windows Containers. Virtualization allows for improved resource utilization, scalability, and flexibility in managing IT infrastructure.
Documentation Overview
Following a thorough examination of the README and official documentation, the following salient findings have been discerned:
1. The title of the Documentation isn't simplified, once a user comes across the title, the user might either be intrigued enough to want to read more on the document, or the user may lose interest completely, at first glance.
What I would use as the title is- Mastering MicrosoftDocs Virtualization: Technical Guide.
2. The objective of Virtualizing MicrosoftDocs isn't clear. Once a first-time user/reader passes through, they should be able to have a clear picture of what MicrosoftDocs Virtualization is about.
What I think should be done in this case is to break every technical jargon into layman's terms. Cite a lot of descriptive examples in specific and appropriate sections.
3. The link to the original virtualization setup was inserted, quite alright, but on opening the setup, one gets confused, there is just a line of description, which gives little to no information on what MicrosoftDocs virtualization is all about. This wouldn't have been an issue if the documentation description was more detailed than the cryptic "Place to store our documentation, code samples, etc for public consumption and contributions" writeup that was given.
GitHub Issues:
It is imperative to enhance the experience of the user when using Microsoftdocs Virtualization by ensuring that documentation is detailed and provides a seamless learning experience. Here are a few prominent issues inherent in the documentation.
1. Office Excel support for Docker: Investigate and confirm if this truly isn't the updated documentation, research and create content or document on how to install Microsoft Office Excel in a docker image for new and existing users.
2. Insufficient and unclear documentation for Windows Server Container: It seems like the documentation for Windows Server Container isn't updated to contain information or a user guide for the latest models, for instance, Windows Server 2022 Container. Research and draft an article on whichever model that hasn't been worked on, for example: Add Roles and Features of Wizard on Windows Server 2022.
3. Page does not address the question proposed in the title: The page does not answer the question in the title. It provides a nice analogy about adjustable wrenches but does not explain the pros and cons of using dynamic memory vs. manually resizing with Runtime Memory Resize. Both use cases describe using Runtime Memory Resize. There is no use case showing when dynamic memory is best. The solution to this issue is to give detailed information on all case scenarios.
4. Missing illustration on this link. There's no illustration given as the last line of the paragraph suggests. The solution is to check and source for the illustrations under the Virtual System Profile in the original documentation website.
Conclusion
Based on collected research, the above-listed issues, if thoroughly worked on, will improve the quality of documentation and ease the overall working experience of the user.
