Summary
The documentation for setting up Azure Site Recovery for Azure VMware Solution VMs shows a moderate Windows bias. The configuration server VM is based on Windows Server, and the registration and setup instructions are Windows-centric (e.g., Windows Server 2016 installation, administrator password, Windows activation). While Linux VMs are supported for replication, the core management and configuration workflow is Windows-focused, with no Linux/macOS alternatives for the configuration server setup or management tools. Linux is mentioned only as a target for replication, not as a platform for running the configuration server or management tools.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation that the configuration server must run Windows Server and that Linux/macOS alternatives are not supported for this component.
- Provide explicit guidance for Linux VM replication, including prerequisites and steps for Linux VMs (e.g., required accounts, agent installation specifics).
- If possible, mention any future plans or alternatives for Linux-based configuration server deployments, or explicitly state that only Windows Server is supported.
- Add a summary table of supported OSes for each component to help users quickly understand platform requirements.
