Summary
The documentation page for Azure Stack Edge 2106 release notes demonstrates several Windows-centric biases. Windows updates are highlighted as a key feature, and multiple issues/workarounds reference PowerShell cmdlets and Windows-specific tools (e.g., robocopy, Explorer, RDP, waappagent.exe). Examples and instructions for VM management, log collection, and troubleshooting are often given only for Windows or PowerShell, with Linux equivalents missing or not mentioned. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., using robocopy, Windows VM Guest Agent, RDP) are referenced without Linux alternatives. In some cases, Windows instructions precede or exclude Linux/macOS guidance, creating friction for non-Windows users.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux/macOS equivalents for all PowerShell and Windows-specific commands (e.g., show how to collect VM guest logs via SSH or Linux tools).
- Include Linux/macOS examples for file operations (e.g., use rsync or cp instead of robocopy/Explorer).
- Reference Linux troubleshooting steps for VM and Kubernetes management, including relevant commands and tools.
- Mention Linux alternatives for SQL connectivity (e.g., using sqlcmd on Linux, or other CLI tools).
- Ensure that instructions for device management, log collection, and updates include both Windows and Linux/macOS workflows.
- Avoid presenting Windows instructions first or exclusively; strive for parallelism in documentation.
