Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: the guest OS is specified as Windows Server 2016, with no mention of Linux alternatives; network configuration examples use only Windows PowerShell cmdlets (Set-HcsIpAddress, Get-HcsIpAddress) without Linux equivalents; and there are no instructions or examples for provisioning or configuring the Data Box Gateway using Linux as the guest OS or for Linux-based administration. All screenshots and steps assume a Windows environment, and there is no guidance for users who may wish to use Linux tools or patterns.
Recommendations
- Include instructions and screenshots for provisioning the Data Box Gateway with a Linux guest OS, if supported.
- Provide Linux-based network configuration examples, such as using 'ip', 'ifconfig', or 'nmcli' commands.
- Clarify whether Linux is supported as a guest OS and, if not, explicitly state this in the prerequisites.
- If PowerShell cmdlets are required, explain how Linux users can access or use these tools (e.g., via PowerShell Core on Linux or alternative methods).
- Add troubleshooting and setup steps relevant to Linux environments, including log collection and diagnostics.
