Summary
The documentation exclusively references RVTools, a Windows-only tool, for exporting VMware inventory data. There are no mentions of Linux-compatible alternatives or instructions for Linux users. All examples and screenshots are based on workflows that require RVTools and the Azure portal, with no consideration for Linux-native tools or command-line options.
Recommendations
- Mention Linux-compatible alternatives to RVTools, such as open-source tools (e.g., govc, pyvmomi scripts) for exporting VMware inventory data.
- Provide instructions or examples for Linux users to generate compatible XLSX files, possibly via Python scripts or other cross-platform utilities.
- Clarify RVTools platform requirements and suggest workarounds for users who do not have access to Windows environments.
- Include a section comparing RVTools with Linux-native options, highlighting pros and cons for each platform.
- Add guidance for importing data from Linux-generated files, ensuring parity in the import workflow.
