Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias. While the main device management instructions are provided for both the Azure Portal (web-based, cross-platform) and Azure CLI (cross-platform), the 'Other tools' section highlights PowerShell commands and Visual Studio Code (which, while cross-platform, is often associated with Windows development) before mentioning the REST API. There are no explicit Linux-specific tools or examples, and PowerShell is called out as a management option without mentioning Bash or Linux-native scripting alternatives. No Linux-specific patterns or package managers are referenced, and there is no mention of Linux shell scripting for automation.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit mention of Bash scripting or Linux shell automation as alternatives to PowerShell for device management, especially when using the Azure CLI.
  • In the 'Other tools' section, balance the mention of PowerShell with references to Bash or shell scripting, and clarify that Azure CLI commands work natively on Linux and macOS.
  • Provide example scripts or automation snippets in Bash alongside any PowerShell examples.
  • When listing tools, avoid listing Windows-centric tools (like PowerShell) first, or group cross-platform tools together and clarify their OS compatibility.
  • Consider including a note or section on managing IoT Hub devices from Linux environments, including package installation tips for the Azure CLI on Linux.
