Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric hypervisors (Hyper-V, VMware) first when describing agent deployment, omitting explicit mention of Linux-based virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox). There are no Linux-specific examples or instructions for agent deployment, registration, or management. The agent image is provided as a VHD (commonly used in Windows environments), with no mention of alternative formats (e.g., qcow2 for Linux/KVM). The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of setup, tooling, or workflow.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention and provide instructions for deploying the agent VM on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox, Proxmox).
- Offer the agent image in additional formats suitable for Linux virtualization (e.g., qcow2, ova).
- Include Linux-specific examples for agent registration and management (e.g., using bash, Linux CLI tools).
- Clarify that SSH-based registration works on both Windows and Linux hosts, and provide any necessary Linux-specific troubleshooting steps.
- Ensure that all prerequisites and workflows are documented for both Windows and Linux environments, with equal prominence.
