Summary
The documentation page lists Hyper-V (a Windows virtualization platform) first in the supported virtualization platforms section, with detailed versioning, while VMware ESXi (cross-platform) is listed second and notes lack of VMware tools support. There are no Linux-native virtualization platforms (such as KVM or VirtualBox) mentioned, nor are there Linux-specific examples or tools referenced. The documentation implicitly prioritizes Windows environments and tools, which may create friction for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Add support or at least documentation for Linux-native virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox).
- Include explicit examples and requirements for deploying Data Box Gateway on Linux hosts.
- Provide parity in tooling and configuration instructions for Linux environments.
- Clarify whether Linux-based SMB clients and browsers are fully supported and provide troubleshooting guidance for Linux users.
