Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias through several patterns: Windows updates and security fixes are highlighted first in 'What's new'; PowerShell is the exclusive CLI mentioned for device configuration and troubleshooting (e.g., configuring MetalLB, running IoT Edge commands, creating virtual switches); workarounds and examples for VM management and extensions are provided only for Windows VMs, with detailed PowerShell and Windows-specific instructions; Windows tools such as robocopy and Explorer are suggested for file operations; and there is a lack of equivalent Linux CLI or tool examples throughout the document.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for device management, troubleshooting, and VM operations.
  • Include Linux CLI alternatives (e.g., bash, ssh, scp, rsync) where PowerShell or Windows tools are referenced.
  • Mention Linux update and security processes if relevant, not just Windows updates.
  • Offer guidance for managing Azure Stack Edge devices from Linux clients, including certificate management, remote support, and VM lifecycle operations.
  • List Linux tools (e.g., cp, rsync) for file copy operations in addition to Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer.
  • Ensure parity in troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux environments, especially for VM guest agent and extension issues.
