Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server/Hyper-V as the primary supported platform for provisioning Data Box Gateway, with VMware ESXi as the only alternative. There are no references to Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM, Xen, or VirtualBox), nor are there any Linux-specific instructions or examples. All prerequisites and download instructions focus on Windows Server and VMware, omitting Linux environments entirely.
Recommendations
- Add support and documentation for Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen, VirtualBox) if technically feasible.
- Provide Linux-specific examples for downloading, extracting, and provisioning the virtual device image.
- Include instructions for managing Azure resources from Linux command-line tools (e.g., Azure CLI on Linux, Bash scripts) alongside or before Windows/Powershell equivalents.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and rationale if Linux is not supported, to clarify for cross-platform users.
