Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows updates and security fixes are highlighted as a key feature; PowerShell is the only CLI mentioned for device configuration and troubleshooting (e.g., configuring MetalLB, running IoT Edge commands, creating virtual switches); workarounds and examples for VM management and troubleshooting are exclusively Windows-centric (e.g., RDP, Windows services, Windows VM Guest Agent); file copy tools like robocopy and Explorer are referenced without Linux alternatives; SQL database creation instructions reference Windows tools and UI; and there is a lack of Linux shell or command examples for common tasks, even when Linux is clearly supported (e.g., NFS, AzCopy, Kubernetes).
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell/bash examples for all PowerShell commands and device management tasks.
  • Mention Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp, scp) alongside robocopy and Explorer for file operations.
  • Include instructions for connecting to and managing VMs using SSH and Linux utilities, not just RDP and Windows services.
  • Reference Linux-compatible SQL tools (e.g., sqlcmd for Linux, Azure Data Studio) when discussing database creation.
  • Ensure that troubleshooting steps and workarounds include both Windows and Linux approaches, especially for cross-platform features like Kubernetes, NFS, and AzCopy.
  • Clarify when features or commands are Windows-only, and provide Linux alternatives or note limitations where applicable.
