Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively recommending Visual Studio Code with the Azure IoT Tools extension for device creation and message sending, without mentioning or providing alternatives for Linux users. All step-by-step instructions and screenshots are based on Visual Studio Code, a tool more commonly associated with Windows environments, and there is no mention of command-line alternatives (such as Azure CLI, az iot, or cross-platform scripts) that would be more familiar or accessible to Linux users. No Linux-specific instructions, tools, or troubleshooting tips are provided.
Recommendations:
- Provide alternative instructions using Azure CLI (e.g., az iot hub device-identity create, az iot hub device-identity show, az iot hub device send-d2c-message) for device creation and message sending, which are cross-platform and work natively on Linux.
- Explicitly mention that Visual Studio Code and the Azure IoT Tools extension are available on Linux and macOS, and provide installation links or instructions for those platforms.
- Include screenshots or terminal output examples from Linux environments to demonstrate parity.
- Offer a table or section comparing different methods (GUI vs CLI) for device management and message sending, indicating which are cross-platform.
- Add troubleshooting tips or notes for common Linux-specific issues (such as permissions, dependency installation, or environment variables).
