Summary
The documentation exclusively uses Windows PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tooling for configuring MetalLB via BGP on Azure Stack Edge. All examples, commands, and instructions are provided for the Windows environment, with no mention of Linux equivalents or cross-platform alternatives. This creates a strong Windows bias and may hinder users operating from Linux or other non-Windows systems.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-based instructions for configuring MetalLB via BGP, such as using SSH, kubectl, or native Linux networking tools.
- Include examples using cross-platform PowerShell Core (pwsh) where possible, and clarify any Windows-only limitations.
- Document how to perform the same configuration steps from a Linux or macOS workstation, including any required tools or prerequisites.
- Explicitly state if certain operations are only possible from Windows, and suggest workarounds or alternatives for non-Windows users.
- Where device access is required, describe both Windows and Linux connection methods (e.g., SSH, remote PowerShell, etc.).
