Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Hyper-V. All instructions, prerequisites, and screenshots reference Windows tools (Server Manager, Hyper-V Manager), and there are no examples or guidance for Linux hosts or alternative hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VMware on Linux). Network configuration steps use Windows PowerShell cmdlets, with no Linux equivalents provided. The documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows ecosystem from start to finish.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for provisioning Data Box Gateway on Linux hosts using supported hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VMware Workstation/ESXi on Linux).
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, such as required packages, hardware requirements, and supported distributions.
- Provide step-by-step examples for creating and configuring virtual machines using Linux tools (e.g., virsh, virt-manager, qemu-img).
- Offer network configuration guidance for Linux environments, including commands for setting static IPs (e.g., using nmcli, ip, or netplan).
- Clarify whether Data Box Gateway is supported on non-Windows hypervisors and, if not, explicitly state this limitation earlier in the documentation.
