Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for VMware disaster recovery demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume the use of Windows Server or Windows PC, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. The tool requires Windows-only dependencies (.NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable), and all usage scenarios and hardware recommendations are Windows-centric. There are no Linux usage examples, nor is there guidance for running the tool on Linux systems.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit information on whether the tool can run on Linux systems, and if not, clarify this limitation early in the documentation.
- If possible, develop and document a Linux-compatible version of the Deployment Planner tool.
- Offer alternative instructions or workarounds for Linux users, such as running the tool in a Windows VM or container on a Linux host.
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, installation steps, and usage examples alongside Windows instructions.
- Highlight any cross-platform capabilities or limitations in the overview and prerequisites sections.
