Missing Linux Example
Powershell Heavy
Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-centric update mechanisms and tools, such as Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and the Microsoft Update Catalog. All example file types are Windows executables (.exe), and there is mention of using PowerShell for workload verification, but no Linux shell or CLI alternatives. There are no instructions or examples for Linux-based update workflows, nor are Linux-native tools or patterns (e.g., apt, yum, rpm, shell scripts) mentioned. The documentation assumes a Windows environment for update management and installation, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for updating the device from a Linux host, including how to download and apply updates using Linux tools (e.g., wget, curl, shell scripts).
- Provide examples of verifying workloads and device status using Linux CLI commands, not just PowerShell.
- Mention or support Linux-compatible update sources and file formats (e.g., .tar.gz, .deb, .rpm), or clarify if .exe files can be used in cross-platform scenarios.
- Include guidance for Linux administrators on how to interact with the local web UI and Azure portal for update management.
- Reference Linux equivalents to WSUS if applicable, or clarify the requirements for Linux-only environments.
