Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner is heavily Windows-centric. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume the use of Windows Server or Windows PC, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. Required dependencies (.NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, Excel) are Windows-only, and there are no alternative instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the tool can or cannot be run on Linux or macOS, and if not, provide rationale.
- If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the Deployment Planner tool, or provide a containerized (Docker) version that can run on Linux.
- Offer alternative instructions for report generation that do not require Excel on Windows (e.g., CSV output, web-based report viewer).
- List prerequisites and examples for both Windows and Linux/macOS platforms, or clarify platform limitations early in the documentation.
- Provide guidance for VMware administrators who use Linux or macOS as their primary workstation.
