Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Hyper-V. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples are tailored exclusively for Windows platforms, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, Server Manager) and PowerShell cmdlets are used throughout, and there are no Linux equivalents or guidance for KVM, VMware on Linux, or other hypervisors. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows from the start and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for provisioning Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors such as KVM or VMware Workstation/Fusion.
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites, such as supported distributions, required packages, and minimum hardware requirements.
- Provide examples using Linux tools (e.g., virsh, virt-manager) for creating and configuring virtual machines.
- Offer command-line examples for network configuration using Linux utilities (e.g., ip, nmcli) instead of only PowerShell.
- Clarify platform limitations and explicitly state if Data Box Gateway is not supported on Linux, or provide links to Linux support documentation if available.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and setup workflows for Linux environments.
