Summary
The documentation provides both Linux and Windows instructions, but the Windows/PowerShell tooling (especially for EFLOW) is emphasized with dedicated PowerShell cmdlets and references to Windows-specific workflows. The EFLOW (IoT Edge for Linux on Windows) section relies heavily on PowerShell and Windows tools for file transfer and VM management, while the Linux section uses standard Bash commands. In some places, Windows/EFLOW instructions are more detailed or appear before Linux equivalents. There is also a reliance on Windows-specific tools (e.g., Copy-EflowVMFile, Invoke-EflowVmCommand) without mentioning cross-platform alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide cross-platform alternatives to PowerShell cmdlets for EFLOW, such as using SSH/SCP for file transfer and command execution.
  • Ensure that Linux instructions are as detailed and prominent as Windows/EFLOW instructions, especially for common tasks like file transfer and port management.
  • Mention and demonstrate generic, platform-agnostic methods (e.g., SCP, SFTP, SSH) for interacting with EFLOW VMs, not just PowerShell.
  • Where possible, present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side or in parallel tabs, rather than giving Windows/PowerShell examples first or in more detail.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-specific and which are universal, to help users on non-Windows platforms follow along without confusion.
