Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively providing PowerShell-based instructions and cmdlets for configuring Azure Monitor on the Azure Stack Edge Pro GPU device. It references connecting to the 'PowerShell interface' and uses a PowerShell-specific cmdlet (Set-HcsKubernetesAzureMonitorConfiguration) without mentioning or providing equivalent steps for Linux or Bash environments. The sample output also shows a PowerShell prompt, and there are no Linux shell or cross-platform CLI alternatives presented.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux/Bash environments, including how to connect and configure Azure Monitor from a Linux shell.
  • If the device only supports PowerShell, explicitly state this limitation and clarify platform support early in the documentation.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform Azure CLI commands instead of or in addition to PowerShell cmdlets.
  • Include screenshots or terminal outputs from both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (Bash) environments to demonstrate parity.
  • Mention any platform-specific requirements or limitations, so users on non-Windows systems are aware of their options.
