Summary
The documentation page exhibits Windows bias by listing Hyper-V (a Windows virtualization platform) first and exclusively in the supported virtualization platforms table, with no mention of Linux-based hypervisors such as KVM or Xen. There are no explicit Linux examples, nor references to Linux-specific tools or deployment patterns. VMware ESXi is mentioned, but VMware tools are not supported, and there is no guidance for Linux-based environments. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users in terms of supported platforms or operational instructions.
Recommendations
- Include Linux-based virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM, Xen) in the supported virtualization platforms table, or explicitly state their support status.
- Provide Linux-specific deployment instructions and examples, including common Linux tools and patterns.
- Clarify whether the Data Box Gateway can be deployed on Linux hosts and, if not, provide rationale and alternatives.
- Ensure that any references to management tools or protocols include both Windows and Linux equivalents (e.g., PowerShell and Bash/CLI).
- Add troubleshooting and configuration guidance for Linux environments, including firewall and networking setup.
