Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias by exclusively using PowerShell for all command-line examples, even for Linux scenarios. All deployment, verification, and removal steps for both Windows and Linux VMs rely on PowerShell cmdlets, and sample outputs are shown from a Windows environment (e.g., PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>). There is no mention of Linux-native tools (such as Azure CLI, Bash, or SSH for management), nor are Linux command-line patterns provided. The instructions assume the user is operating from a Windows client, even when managing Linux VMs.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent examples using Azure CLI (az commands) for Linux users.
  • Include Bash shell command samples for Linux scenarios, especially for deployment and extension management.
  • Show sample outputs from a Linux terminal environment, not just Windows PowerShell.
  • Clarify that PowerShell Core is cross-platform, or explicitly support Linux-native workflows.
  • List Linux tools and patterns alongside or before Windows tools when describing prerequisites and steps.
  • Add guidance for users who may be managing Azure Stack Edge from a Linux or macOS client.
