Summary
The documentation page demonstrates several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as PowerShell scripts and Windows Server requirements) are mentioned before or instead of Linux equivalents. The only alternative to OVA deployment is a PowerShell script on Windows Server, with no Linux-based setup option described. Instructions for installing the VMware VDDK reference a Windows file path exclusively. SQL Server discovery and authentication examples focus on Windows mechanisms, with Linux alternatives less detailed. While Linux is mentioned as supported, practical steps and examples for Linux users are sparse or missing.
Recommendations
- Provide a Linux-based alternative for appliance deployment (e.g., bash script or instructions for setting up on a Linux VM).
- Include Linux file paths and installation steps for VDDK, not just Windows (e.g., /opt/vmware/vddk).
- Offer example commands and troubleshooting steps for Linux users (e.g., SSH setup, firewall configuration).
- Clarify SQL Server discovery options for Linux-hosted SQL Server instances, if supported.
- Ensure parity in credential setup examples for Linux (not just SSH keys, but also password-based and domain integration where applicable).
- Explicitly state any limitations or differences for Linux users in each relevant section.
