Summary
The documentation for Azure Stack Edge 2301 release notes demonstrates a noticeable Windows bias. Several workarounds and instructions reference Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, RDP, Windows services, Explorer, robocopy) and provide examples or commands for Windows environments first or exclusively. Linux equivalents are often missing or mentioned later, if at all. For example, nodepool VM restarts are described only via Windows PowerShell, and file copy workarounds mention Windows tools before Linux alternatives. Some instructions for VM guest log collection and custom script extensions focus on Windows VMs and tools without Linux parity.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux shell (bash) and CLI examples alongside PowerShell commands for device management and troubleshooting.
- Include Linux-specific instructions for tasks such as restarting nodepool VMs, collecting VM guest logs, and managing custom script extensions.
- Mention Linux tools (e.g., rsync, cp) equally or before Windows tools like robocopy and Explorer in file copy scenarios.
- Ensure that workarounds and troubleshooting steps cover both Windows and Linux environments, especially for VM and Kubernetes operations.
- Where Windows-only features or limitations exist, explicitly state Linux alternatives or note the absence of parity.
