Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically guiding users through deploying Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW). All installation and configuration steps use PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tooling (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 installation commands or patterns presented. Linux commands only appear at the very end for module verification, and only within the context of a Linux VM running on Windows.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel quickstart section for native Linux devices, including prerequisites, installation, and configuration steps using Linux commands (e.g., apt, yum, systemctl).
- Provide Linux shell (bash) examples for installing and provisioning IoT Edge on Ubuntu, CentOS, or other common distributions.
- Mention Linux system requirements and hardware prerequisites alongside Windows requirements.
- Present both Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or clearly indicate which steps apply to which platform.
- Include troubleshooting and uninstall instructions for Linux environments.
- Avoid assuming the user is on Windows; clarify when steps are Windows-specific and offer alternatives for Linux users.
