Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server/Hyper-V as the primary platform for provisioning Data Box Gateway, with explicit references to Windows Server versions and Hyper-V. There are no examples, instructions, or mentions of Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM or Xen), nor are Linux-specific deployment patterns or tools discussed. VMware ESXi is mentioned as an alternative, but Linux platforms are entirely absent from prerequisites, download options, and step-by-step instructions.
Recommendations
- Add explicit support and instructions for deploying Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen), including prerequisites, image formats (such as QCOW2), and step-by-step guides.
- Include Linux-specific examples for downloading, unzipping, and provisioning the virtual device image.
- Mention Linux-compatible management tools and patterns where relevant, such as using libvirt/virt-manager or command-line tools for VM provisioning.
- Clarify platform support in prerequisites and download sections, listing all supported host OS types in parallel (Windows, Linux, VMware) rather than prioritizing Windows.
- If Linux is not supported, explicitly state this in the documentation to avoid confusion and set expectations for cross-platform users.
