Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, with all examples and instructions using Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, Hyper-V, Windows DHCP Server). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives provided, and the guide assumes the user is operating in a Windows environment throughout. Linux commands, tools, or patterns are not mentioned, despite the context being Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for creating virtual switches, NAT, and DHCP on Linux hosts (e.g., using ip, brctl, dnsmasq, or isc-dhcp-server).
- Provide Linux command-line examples alongside PowerShell commands, or clarify that the process is only supported on Windows if that is the case.
- Reference Linux networking tools and patterns where appropriate, and discuss any platform limitations or differences.
- Explicitly state the scope of the guide (Windows-only, or cross-platform) at the beginning to set user expectations.
- If the product is only supported on Windows hosts, provide rationale and link to Linux-native alternatives for similar scenarios.
