Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Hyper-V. All examples, prerequisites, and step-by-step instructions are tailored exclusively for Windows tools (Hyper-V Manager, Server Manager) and PowerShell cmdlets. There is no mention of Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM, QEMU, or even VMware on Linux), nor are there any Linux command-line examples or instructions. The documentation assumes the reader is using Windows and does not provide parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add equivalent instructions for provisioning Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, QEMU, VMware Workstation/Fusion on Linux).
- Include Linux command-line examples for network configuration and VM setup (e.g., using virsh, qemu-img, nmcli, etc.).
- Mention Linux system requirements and prerequisites alongside Windows requirements.
- Provide guidance on how to download and use the VHDX image on Linux hosts, including any conversion steps if needed.
- Clarify whether Data Box Gateway is supported on non-Windows platforms, and if not, explicitly state the limitation.
