Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by defaulting to Windows 11 Enterprise VM deployment, instructing users to use RDP and Windows command prompt, and only mentioning Windows IoT Enterprise as the recommended production OS. Linux usage is only introduced via WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) inside the Windows VM, rather than supporting native Linux VM deployment or providing Linux/macOS-specific instructions. There are no examples for deploying or operating the solution on native Linux or macOS environments, and all operational steps (including installation, simulation, and edge infrastructure) are described from a Windows-first perspective.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions for deploying the production line simulation and edge infrastructure on native Linux VMs (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) and macOS, including required dependencies and setup steps.
  • Include Linux/macOS-specific examples for connecting to VMs (e.g., SSH instead of RDP), running shell scripts, and managing Kubernetes clusters.
  • Mention Linux distributions as supported base OS options for production scenarios, not just Windows IoT Enterprise.
  • Reorder examples so that Linux and Windows instructions are presented with equal prominence, or provide parallel instructions for both platforms.
  • Clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which are platform-specific, and provide alternatives where possible.
