Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows, with all configuration steps relying exclusively on PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tools. There are no Linux-native examples or instructions, and all procedures assume a Windows host environment. Even when interacting with the Linux VM, access is provided via Windows PowerShell, and only a single Linux command (ifconfig) is shown, executed from within the VM. This creates friction for users who may wish to manage EFLOW from a Linux or macOS host, or who expect parity in tooling and examples.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent instructions for managing EFLOW networking from Linux/macOS hosts, if supported.
- Include examples using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, SSH, Hyper-V Manager alternatives) where possible.
- Clarify host OS requirements and limitations at the top of the documentation.
- If EFLOW management is only possible from Windows, explicitly state this and link to Linux-native IoT Edge documentation for users with non-Windows hosts.
- Where Linux commands are used inside the VM, expand examples to cover troubleshooting and verification steps using standard Linux networking tools.
