Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias by specifying the guest OS as Windows Server 2016, using Windows-centric PowerShell cmdlets (Set-HcsIpAddress, Get-HcsIpAddress) for network configuration, and omitting any Linux/macOS alternatives or guidance. All examples and screenshots are tailored to Windows environments, with no mention of Linux-based guest OS support or equivalent Linux commands for network setup.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether Linux-based guest OSes are supported for the Data Box Gateway VM and, if so, provide instructions for provisioning with a Linux guest OS.
- If Linux is supported, include equivalent Linux commands (e.g., using ip, ifconfig, or nmcli) for network configuration instead of only PowerShell cmdlets.
- Add explicit notes about OS compatibility and any limitations for non-Windows environments.
- Provide parity in examples and screenshots for Linux/macOS users where applicable.
