Summary
The documentation page for Azure Stack Edge GA release notes demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Several examples and workarounds reference Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell, robocopy, Explorer), and instructions for connecting to device interfaces or mounting shares use Windows paths and commands. PowerShell is mentioned as the primary management interface, with no equivalent Bash or Linux shell examples. There are missing Linux-specific instructions or parity in several cases, and Windows tools are referenced before or instead of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/Bash command equivalents alongside PowerShell instructions, especially for device management and IoT Edge operations.
  • Include Linux-native tools (e.g., rsync, cp) in file copy workarounds, not just robocopy or Explorer.
  • Add Linux mount command examples for NFS shares, using typical Linux syntax (e.g., mount -o nolock ...).
  • Reference Linux utilities (e.g., sqlcmd on Linux, AzCopy usage on Linux) where appropriate.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps and examples are given for both Windows and Linux environments, or clarify OS-specific requirements.
  • Where PowerShell is required, note if and how Linux users can access PowerShell Core or provide alternative CLI instructions.
