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 redirect users to Linux containers or EFLOW (IoT Edge for Linux on Windows). There are no PowerShell or Windows command examples, but the lack of Windows-native instructions and the explicit direction to use Linux containers on Windows devices indicate a bias toward Linux. The documentation also references Linux tools and patterns (systemctl, apt-get, yum) exclusively, and troubleshooting commands are only shown for Linux environments.
Recommendations
- If Windows-native IoT Edge is not supported, clarify this at the top of the article and provide a clear migration or alternative path for Windows users.
- If EFLOW is the only supported method on Windows, include a summary of EFLOW update steps or a direct link to equivalent update documentation, rather than just a reference.
- If/when Windows-native support returns, add equivalent PowerShell or Windows command-line examples for all update and troubleshooting steps.
- Ensure that all references to tools and commands are clearly scoped to the relevant OS, and provide parity in troubleshooting and verification steps for EFLOW/Windows scenarios.
