Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server/Hyper-V as the primary host platform for provisioning Data Box Gateway, with VMware ESXi as the only alternative. There are no examples or instructions for Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM or Xen), nor are Linux tools or patterns mentioned for image deployment, management, or activation. All prerequisites and download instructions focus on Windows and VMware environments, omitting Linux entirely.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for deploying Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen).
- Include download options for virtual device images compatible with Linux platforms (e.g., QCOW2 for KVM).
- Provide Linux command-line examples for image deployment, activation, and management alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Mention Linux tools and patterns (such as virt-manager, qemu-img, or libvirt) where relevant.
- Clearly state platform limitations and support in the prerequisites section, and consider parity in future product support.
