Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-based tools and defaults, such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), Microsoft Update server, and time.windows.com as the default NTP server. There are no mentions of Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux update mirrors, chrony/ntpd, or pool.ntp.org), nor are there examples or instructions for Linux environments. The focus on Windows tools and defaults, without Linux alternatives or parity, may hinder users managing Azure Stack Edge devices in Linux-centric environments.
Recommendations:
- Include Linux-friendly update options, such as guidance for using Linux update mirrors or repositories if supported.
- Mention and provide examples for configuring NTP servers commonly used in Linux environments (e.g., pool.ntp.org, chrony, ntpd).
- Clarify whether WSUS and Microsoft Update are required, or if other update mechanisms (such as Linux package managers or custom update servers) are supported.
- Provide parity in examples and terminology, ensuring that both Windows and Linux administrators can follow the instructions.
- Explicitly state any platform limitations or requirements, so users know if only Windows-based infrastructure is supported.
