Summary
The documentation provides two methods to deploy the Azure Site Recovery replication appliance: via OVF template (recommended) and via PowerShell. The PowerShell method is described as an alternative for organizational restrictions, but all scripting and registry references are Windows-centric. Registry and group policy checks are exclusively for Windows, and PowerShell is the only CLI example provided. There is no mention of Linux/macOS equivalents for scripting, configuration, or troubleshooting, and Windows-specific tools and patterns (registry, group policy, PowerShell execution policy) are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether the appliance VM is strictly Windows-based, and if so, explicitly state that Linux/macOS deployment is not supported.
- If Linux-based deployment is possible, provide equivalent instructions for Linux (e.g., Bash scripts, Linux system configuration, SELinux/AppArmor policies, etc.).
- If PowerShell is required, note any cross-platform support (PowerShell Core) or provide alternatives for Linux users.
- For registry and group policy checks, explain their relevance or provide Linux equivalents if applicable.
- Add troubleshooting steps for Linux/macOS environments if the appliance can be deployed there.
