Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Linux-based IoT Edge deployments, with detailed step-by-step instructions and examples for Ubuntu/Debian and RHEL. Windows is only mentioned to state that native Windows containers are not supported and to direct users to use Linux containers (EFLOW) on Windows. There are no PowerShell or Windows command-line examples, but also no native Windows instructions or parity. The troubleshooting and update commands are all Linux-centric. The only Windows-specific content is a note about lack of support and a pointer to a separate EFLOW page.
Recommendations:
- If Windows support is not available, clarify this at the top of the page and remove the Windows tab to avoid confusion.
- If EFLOW (IoT Edge for Linux on Windows) is the only supported scenario, provide a summary of the EFLOW update process or link to the EFLOW update guide more prominently.
- If/when Windows-native support is added, ensure that all update, verification, and troubleshooting steps are provided with both Windows (PowerShell/cmd) and Linux (bash) examples.
- For parity, consider providing a table or matrix at the top summarizing which OSes are supported and linking to the relevant instructions.
- Explicitly state that all commands are for Linux unless otherwise noted, to avoid confusion for Windows users.
