Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by exclusively describing the deployment and management of the configuration server as a Windows Server VM. All instructions, screenshots, and examples assume Windows (e.g., Windows Server 2016 installation, use of C:\Temp\ASRSetup for MySQL installer, administrator account references). There are no Linux-based deployment options or examples, and Linux is only mentioned in passing for mobility service credentials. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., folder paths, user accounts) are used throughout, with no Linux equivalents or parity.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions and examples for deploying the configuration server as a Linux VM, if supported.
  • Include Linux-specific steps for MySQL installation (e.g., using apt/yum, Linux file paths) alongside Windows instructions.
  • Clarify whether the configuration server must be Windows-only, and if so, explain the rationale and any future plans for Linux support.
  • Add parity in credential management examples, showing both Windows and Linux account setup and requirements.
  • Where folder paths or commands are referenced, show both Windows and Linux equivalents.
  • If Linux deployment is not supported, explicitly state this early in the documentation to set expectations.
