Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: it instructs users to select 'Windows' as the guest OS and 'Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)' as the version, and all command-line examples for network configuration use Windows PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Set-HcsIpAddress), with no Linux or cross-platform alternatives provided. There is no mention of Linux guest OS support or examples for Linux-based management, which could create friction for users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Linux guest OS is supported or not; if supported, provide instructions for provisioning with a Linux guest OS.
- Add equivalent Linux shell commands or cross-platform alternatives for network configuration (e.g., using ifconfig, ip, or netplan).
- Explicitly state OS requirements and limitations for the virtual device, including whether only Windows is supported.
- If PowerShell is required, mention how to install and use PowerShell Core on Linux/macOS, or provide web-based alternatives.
- Present examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS environments, or note when steps are Windows-specific.
