Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, specifically Windows Server and desktop, with all examples and instructions using Windows PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (Hyper-V, DHCP Server, Windows Features). There are no Linux/macOS equivalents or alternative instructions, despite the topic being 'IoT Edge for Linux on Windows'. The guide assumes the user is operating on a Windows host and does not provide parity for Linux users who may want to create similar networking setups.
Recommendations
- Add a section or links for creating virtual switches and NAT/DHCP setups on Linux hosts using tools like NetworkManager, iptables, dnsmasq, or systemd-networkd.
- Provide Linux/macOS command-line equivalents for each PowerShell/Windows-specific step, or clarify that the process is only supported on Windows hosts.
- Explicitly state the limitations or requirements for Linux users and offer guidance for cross-platform scenarios.
- Consider reordering or labeling sections to clarify Windows-only applicability, and add references to Linux networking documentation for similar tasks.
