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. There are no command-line or cross-platform instructions (such as using Azure CLI, IoT CLI, or Python scripts), and all tooling is presented in a way that assumes a Windows/GUI workflow. No Linux-specific or cross-platform examples or tools are referenced.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions for using Azure CLI or Azure IoT CLI to create devices and send test messages, which work on both Windows and Linux.
- Provide examples using cross-platform tools such as Python scripts (using the Azure IoT SDK) for device simulation.
- Explicitly mention that Visual Studio Code and the Azure IoT Tools extension are available on Linux and macOS, or provide alternative workflows for users who prefer not to use a GUI.
- Add a section or callout for Linux users, outlining the equivalent steps using terminal commands.
- Ensure screenshots and step-by-step instructions are not solely focused on Windows environments.
