Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias in its operational instructions and examples. All command-line steps for managing NUMA policies, vCPU reservations, and VM lifecycle use PowerShell cmdlets exclusively, with no mention of Linux shell equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. The prerequisite steps and troubleshooting are centered around connecting to the device via PowerShell, and all command syntax and output is shown in PowerShell format. While there is a brief mention that VM images can be Windows or Linux, the actual management and deployment workflow is entirely Windows/PowerShell-centric, leaving Linux/macOS users without guidance for equivalent operations.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) commands or workflows for managing NUMA policies, vCPU reservations, and VM lifecycle, if supported.
  • Document how to connect to the device and perform management tasks from Linux/macOS environments, including any required tools or REST APIs.
  • Clarify whether PowerShell Core (pwsh) on Linux/macOS can be used for these tasks, and provide installation/setup instructions if so.
  • If device management is only possible via Windows PowerShell, explicitly state this limitation and suggest alternatives or workarounds for non-Windows users.
  • Include Linux-first or cross-platform examples alongside Windows/PowerShell instructions to improve parity.
