Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias through frequent references to PowerShell for device management, troubleshooting, and command-line operations. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., RDP, waappagent.exe, WindowsAzureGuestAgent, robocopy, Explorer, and Windows-style mount commands) are mentioned exclusively or before Linux equivalents. Examples and workarounds often use Windows commands, with little or no mention of Linux alternatives, especially for VM management, log collection, and file operations. Linux tools and workflows are underrepresented or missing in several sections.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/bash command examples alongside PowerShell commands for device management and troubleshooting.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for connecting to VMs (e.g., SSH) and managing VM lifecycle.
  • Mention and demonstrate Linux-native tools (e.g., cp, rsync, sqlcmd for Linux, mount commands for Linux) wherever Windows tools like robocopy or Explorer are referenced.
  • Clarify when a workaround or feature applies only to Windows, and offer Linux alternatives if available.
  • Ensure that documentation for custom script extensions, log collection, and diagnostics includes Linux guest agent and process management details.
  • Add explicit Linux examples for mounting NFS shares and interacting with Azure Stack Edge from Linux clients.
