Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-based virtualization environments and tools (Hyper-V, Windows VMs, Windows Server, Windows 10/11), with no mention of Linux-based virtualization options or examples. All setup instructions, requirements, and troubleshooting are centered on Windows, and there are no Linux equivalents or guidance for Linux-first users.
Recommendations
  • Include examples and instructions for deploying Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows using Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, QEMU, VirtualBox on Linux hosts).
  • Provide parity in documentation by listing Linux options alongside Windows options, not just as an afterthought.
  • Add troubleshooting and configuration notes relevant to Linux virtualization environments.
  • Clarify in the introduction whether Linux hosts are supported or not, and if not, provide a rationale or roadmap.
  • If the product is truly Windows-only, make this explicit and consider linking to Linux-native IoT Edge deployment docs for Linux users.
