Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows, specifically on deploying Azure IoT Edge for Linux on Windows (EFLOW). All installation and configuration steps use PowerShell commands and Windows-specific tooling (Hyper-V, MSI installers, PowerShell modules), with no equivalent instructions for native Linux or macOS environments. Linux commands are only shown for post-deployment module management inside the EFLOW VM, not for initial setup or installation. There is no guidance for users who want to deploy IoT Edge on a native Linux device.
Recommendations
- Add a parallel quickstart or clear links for deploying Azure IoT Edge on native Linux devices, including prerequisites, installation, and configuration steps.
- Provide Linux shell (bash) examples for installation and setup, not just PowerShell/Windows commands.
- Explicitly state the scope of the guide (Windows-only) at the top, and direct Linux/macOS users to appropriate documentation.
- Include troubleshooting and uninstall instructions for Linux environments.
- Balance example order and visibility so Linux users are not disadvantaged.
