Summary
The documentation page for Azure Stack Edge 2106 release notes exhibits several instances of Windows bias. Many troubleshooting steps and workarounds reference PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, waappagent.exe), often without providing equivalent Linux/macOS alternatives. Examples and instructions frequently assume a Windows environment, such as mounting NFS shares from a Windows client, using Windows command syntax, and referencing Windows VM management. Linux-specific guidance is sparse or missing, and Windows tools or patterns are often mentioned first or exclusively.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (e.g., show how to collect VM guest logs via SSH or Linux commands).
  • Include Linux/macOS examples for mounting NFS shares, copying files, and managing VMs (e.g., use mount, cp, scp, systemctl, etc.).
  • When referencing tools like robocopy or Explorer, also mention rsync, cp, or other cross-platform alternatives.
  • For VM troubleshooting, provide steps for Linux VMs (e.g., checking agent status, restarting services) alongside Windows instructions.
  • Ensure that examples and instructions are presented in a cross-platform manner, or at least alternate between Windows and Linux/macOS examples.
  • Explicitly call out OS-specific requirements or limitations, and provide parity guidance where possible.
