Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, specifically on 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), with no equivalent instructions for native Linux environments. Linux commands are only shown for module management after the Windows-based EFLOW VM is set up, and there are no examples for setting up IoT Edge on a pure Linux device. The documentation assumes the user is on Windows and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel quickstart section for deploying Azure IoT Edge on native Linux devices (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian), including prerequisites, installation, and configuration steps.
- Provide Linux shell (bash) command examples for installation, configuration, and provisioning, not just for module management.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, apt, docker) alongside Windows tools like PowerShell and Hyper-V.
- Clearly indicate which steps are Windows-specific and offer links or inline instructions for Linux equivalents.
- Ensure that Linux users can follow the quickstart without needing a Windows device, improving cross-platform accessibility.
