Summary
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows and PowerShell are mentioned explicitly and given equal or greater prominence than Linux and cross-platform tools. The tools table lists Azure PowerShell as a primary option, and while Azure CLI (cross-platform) is included, there are no explicit Linux-specific examples, nor is there mention of Linux-native tools or shell commands. Windows is mentioned first in several places, and there is no guidance for Linux users on common patterns or troubleshooting. The documentation does not provide parity in examples or tool recommendations for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux shell/bash examples and references alongside PowerShell commands.
  • Mention Linux-first or cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, REST APIs) before Windows-specific tools.
  • Include troubleshooting or setup notes for Linux environments, especially for device development.
  • Clarify that Azure CLI is cross-platform and highlight its use for Linux users.
  • Add links to Linux-specific documentation or tutorials where available.
  • Consider including a table or section comparing Windows and Linux development workflows for Azure IoT.
