Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing installation of the on-premises data gateway on a 'local computer' without specifying cross-platform support, repeatedly mentioning Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell for automation and service management), and providing troubleshooting steps that reference restarting the 'gateway Windows service account.' There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or references to Linux tools or service management patterns. All automation and administrative examples are PowerShell-centric, and there is no mention of Bash, systemd, or Linux service management.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the on-premises data gateway supports installation on Linux and provide installation instructions for supported platforms.
- Include Linux-specific examples for service management, such as using systemctl to restart the gateway service.
- Provide automation examples using Bash scripts or Azure CLI, not just PowerShell.
- Reference Linux equivalents for troubleshooting steps (e.g., how to restart the gateway service on Linux).
- Clarify cross-platform compatibility in prerequisites and throughout the documentation.
- If the gateway is Windows-only, clearly state this limitation early in the documentation.
