Summary:
The documentation exclusively describes deployment scenarios for Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows using Windows-based virtual machines and hypervisors (Hyper-V, VMware with Windows VMs, Azure VMs with Windows). All configuration steps, requirements, and references are tailored to Windows environments, with no mention of Linux-based virtualization hosts, tools, or workflows. There are no examples or instructions for deploying EFLOW on Linux hosts or using Linux-native hypervisors (e.g., KVM, QEMU), and all tooling and troubleshooting guidance is Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
- Add equivalent deployment instructions for Linux-based virtualization hosts (e.g., Ubuntu with KVM/QEMU, or other popular Linux distributions).
- Provide Linux-native examples for enabling nested virtualization and configuring networking for EFLOW.
- Include troubleshooting notes and requirements specific to Linux environments.
- Reference Linux tools and commands (e.g., virsh, virt-manager) alongside or before Windows tools where applicable.
- Clarify in the introduction whether Linux host support is possible or not, and if not, explain the limitation.
