Summary
The documentation page for Azure Stack Edge 2101 release notes demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. PowerShell is frequently referenced as the primary management interface, with explicit instructions to 'Connect to the PowerShell interface of the device' and use PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Remove-HcsKubernetesAzureArcAgent). Windows-specific tools such as robocopy and file copy through Explorer are recommended for blob management, with no Linux alternatives mentioned. Mounting NFS shares is shown using Windows syntax (e.g., C:\Users\aseuser mount -o anon \\10.1.1.211\mnt\vms Z:), with no Linux mount examples provided. In general, Windows tools and patterns are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents, and Linux-specific guidance is often missing.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux/bash examples for all PowerShell commands and management tasks, including how to connect and manage the device from Linux.
- Include Linux alternatives for file operations, such as using cp, rsync, or scp instead of robocopy and Explorer.
- Add Linux NFS mount command examples (e.g., mount -o nolock ...), alongside Windows instructions.
- Reference cross-platform tools and interfaces where possible, and clarify when a feature or workaround is platform-specific.
- Review all instructions to ensure parity between Windows and Linux environments, especially for common administrative and troubleshooting tasks.
