Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows as the guest OS, requiring selection of 'Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)' during VM creation, and providing only Windows PowerShell cmdlets (e.g., Set-HcsIpAddress) for network configuration. There are no Linux guest OS instructions, nor are Linux shell commands or configuration patterns mentioned. The tutorial assumes the virtual device is Windows-based and does not address Linux alternatives or parity.
Recommendations
- Provide instructions for provisioning the Data Box Gateway with a Linux guest OS, if supported, including selection of appropriate Linux distributions and versions.
- Include Linux shell command equivalents for network configuration (e.g., using ip, nmcli, or netplan) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Clarify whether the Data Box Gateway image is Windows-only or if Linux-based images are available, and document any limitations.
- If only Windows is supported, explicitly state this early in the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
- Add troubleshooting and configuration steps relevant to Linux environments, such as handling network interfaces and disk mounting.
