Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples and device management instructions are provided exclusively using PowerShell cmdlets, with no equivalent Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples. The documentation references Windows-centric tools and patterns (such as PowerShell and Windows-specific NUMA documentation) and does not provide Linux alternatives or parity in workflow or troubleshooting. While there is a brief mention that both Windows and Linux VHDs can be used as VM images, all operational guidance assumes a Windows/PowerShell environment.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux shell (bash) or Azure CLI examples for all PowerShell cmdlets used (e.g., for querying and setting NUMA policies, managing VMs).
  • Reference Linux documentation for NUMA and CPU affinity management, not just Windows.
  • Clarify whether the device management interface supports SSH or Linux-native management tools, and provide instructions if so.
  • When mentioning prerequisites or workflows, explicitly state and demonstrate steps for both Windows and Linux admin environments.
  • Ensure troubleshooting and monitoring guidance includes Linux-compatible tools and commands.
  • If PowerShell is required regardless of admin OS, clarify this up front and provide installation guidance for non-Windows platforms.
