Summary:
The documentation provides both Linux (Ubuntu/K3S) and Windows (AKS Edge Essentials) setup instructions, but there is a noticeable Windows bias in several areas. Powershell and Windows-specific tools and commands are used exclusively or given first in key sections (e.g., Arc-enabling the cluster, network/firewall configuration). Some steps, such as environment variable setup and Azure CLI usage, are only shown in Powershell syntax, with no Bash/Linux equivalents. Windows UI steps for DNS configuration are detailed, while the Linux (Ubuntu) DNS configuration is only briefly described and relies on the UI, not CLI. The network configuration and troubleshooting steps are Windows-centric, and some advanced configuration (firewall, port forwarding) is only shown for Windows.
Recommendations:
- Provide Bash/Linux equivalents for all Powershell commands, especially for Azure CLI usage, environment variable setup, and Arc-enabling the cluster.
- Include Linux CLI-based instructions for DNS configuration (e.g., using nmcli or editing /etc/netplan or /etc/resolv.conf), not just Ubuntu UI steps.
- Offer Linux-native alternatives for Windows-only tools and commands (e.g., netsh, New-NetFirewallRule), such as iptables or ufw for firewall rules and socat or iptables for port forwarding.
- Ensure that troubleshooting and verification steps (e.g., checking service IPs, verifying DNS) are shown with Linux commands as well as Windows.
- Present both Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or in clearly separated tabs, rather than defaulting to Windows-first or Windows-only examples in shared sections.
