Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. The alternative to OVA deployment is exclusively a PowerShell installer script, with no mention of a Linux shell or Bash equivalent. The VDDK installation instructions specify a Windows path (C:\Program Files\VMware\VMware Virtual Disk Development Kit) and do not provide Linux instructions. Credential examples and validation focus on domain/Windows credentials, with Linux mentioned only as a credential type, lacking further detail or parity in examples. Windows authentication and IIS web server discovery are described in detail, while Linux equivalents (e.g., Apache, Nginx, Linux authentication) are not covered.
Recommendations
- Provide a Linux/Bash installer script or instructions for appliance setup on Linux servers.
- Include Linux-specific VDDK installation steps and default paths.
- Offer parity in credential examples and validation for Linux servers, including details on supported authentication methods.
- Document discovery and inventory for common Linux web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) and databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
- Present Windows and Linux examples side-by-side or in separate sections to ensure equal visibility.
