Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. All device setup and deployment instructions are exclusively for Windows environments, specifically using PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., Hyper-V, MSI installers, PowerShell cmdlets). There are no instructions or examples for setting up IoT Edge on native Linux devices, nor are Linux equivalents (e.g., bash scripts, Linux package managers) mentioned. The page assumes the user is working from a Windows device and only provides Linux commands after the device is provisioned, not for initial setup or installation.
Recommendations
- Add parallel instructions for setting up Azure IoT Edge on native Linux devices, including prerequisites, installation, and provisioning steps using bash and Linux package managers (apt, yum, etc.).
- Provide Linux-specific examples for device setup, such as enabling virtualization (KVM), downloading and installing IoT Edge packages, and configuring the runtime.
- Ensure that Linux instructions are presented alongside Windows instructions, or in a separate section, rather than only after Windows setup is complete.
- Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., SSH, systemctl, shell scripts) where appropriate, and avoid assuming PowerShell is the only remote management solution.
- Clarify in the introduction that the quickstart is Windows-specific, and link to equivalent Linux quickstart guides if available.
