Summary
The documentation page exhibits a clear Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WinRM, WMI, Windows authentication) and patterns are mentioned first and in detail, while Linux equivalents are referenced only as secondary options. Examples and scripts are exclusively for Windows environments (e.g., SQL Server login provisioning), with no Linux-specific code samples or detailed guidance. Windows requirements (such as enabling PowerShell remoting) are described in depth, whereas Linux requirements are summarized briefly. Some features (e.g., SQL Server discovery, ASP.NET web apps) are not supported for Linux, and this is stated without offering alternatives or workarounds.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-first or Linux-parity examples and instructions alongside Windows ones, especially for appliance deployment, server access, and dependency analysis.
  • Include Linux-specific code samples (e.g., shell scripts for credential provisioning, SQL Server discovery alternatives for Linux environments).
  • Expand on Linux requirements with step-by-step guidance, similar to the detail given for Windows (e.g., how to configure SSH, required permissions, troubleshooting).
  • Where features are unsupported on Linux (e.g., SQL Server discovery, ASP.NET web apps), suggest alternative approaches or clarify roadmap for Linux support.
  • Avoid listing Windows tools and patterns before Linux equivalents; present both platforms equally in tables and instructions.
  • Explicitly document any limitations for Linux and provide links to feature requests or community workarounds.
