Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing the Windows PowerShell interface as the primary local management method, linking to PowerShell-specific guides, and mentioning Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) for updates. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform CLI examples, and Windows tools are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. This may create friction for Linux/macOS users who wish to manage Azure Stack Edge devices locally.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux/macOS management instructions, such as using SSH, Bash, or cross-platform Azure CLI commands for local device management.
  • Include examples for managing the device from Linux/macOS clients, especially for tasks currently described with PowerShell.
  • Mention and link to cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, kubectl) before or alongside Windows-specific tools.
  • Clarify whether the local web UI and ARM interfaces are accessible from non-Windows clients and provide guidance for those platforms.
  • For update procedures, describe how Linux/macOS users can download and apply updates, avoiding exclusive references to WSUS.
