Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments, specifically Windows Server and Hyper-V. All instructions, screenshots, and tooling references are for Windows-only platforms. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of alternative hypervisors (such as KVM, VMware on Linux, or VirtualBox). Network configuration examples use PowerShell cmdlets, which are not available on Linux by default. This makes the tutorial inaccessible to users on non-Windows platforms.
Recommendations
- Add instructions and examples for provisioning Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VMware Workstation/Fusion, VirtualBox).
- Include Linux/macOS-specific steps for downloading and managing the VHDX image.
- Provide network configuration guidance for Linux (e.g., using ip, nmcli, or netplan) and macOS.
- Clarify platform support and limitations at the start of the document.
- If Data Box Gateway is Windows-only, explicitly state this and link to alternatives for Linux users.
