Summary
The documentation page for Azure Stack Edge 2106 release notes demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas. Windows updates and security fixes are highlighted first in 'What's new'. Multiple issues and workarounds reference PowerShell cmdlets and interfaces (e.g., Get-VMInguestLogs, Remove-HcsKubernetesAzureArcAgent), and Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, waappagent.exe) are mentioned without Linux equivalents. Examples for mounting NFS shares use Windows syntax, and custom script extension troubleshooting is focused on Windows VMs. There are few, if any, Linux or cross-platform command examples, and Linux tools/workflows are not described in parity with Windows.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and commands alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions, especially for VM management, log collection, and troubleshooting.
- Include Linux tools (e.g., rsync, scp, Linux mount syntax) when discussing file operations or NFS shares, and clarify how to perform equivalent actions on Linux clients.
- When referencing PowerShell interfaces, also document how to perform the same tasks via SSH or Linux shell where supported.
- Mention Linux update and security processes if relevant, not only Windows updates.
- Ensure troubleshooting steps for VM extensions, agent processes, and connectivity include both Windows and Linux VM scenarios.
- Review all examples and workarounds to ensure Linux users are not excluded or forced to infer their own solutions.
