Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically guiding users through PowerShell commands and Windows-native tools (Hyper-V, Windows DHCP Server). All examples and instructions are for Windows, with no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided, despite the product being 'Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows'. Linux tools, commands, or patterns are not mentioned, and the workflow assumes a Windows host throughout.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for setting up virtual switches, NAT, and DHCP on Linux hosts using common Linux tools (e.g., ip, brctl, dnsmasq, isc-dhcp-server).
- Provide cross-platform examples or clarify that the guide is only for Windows hosts, and link to Linux-specific guides if available.
- Include a section comparing Windows and Linux approaches, highlighting differences and similarities.
- Where possible, use generic terminology and avoid assuming PowerShell or Windows-only workflows.
- If the product is only supported on Windows hosts, make this limitation explicit at the beginning of the documentation.
