Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for VMware disaster recovery demonstrates a notable Windows bias. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume the use of Windows Server or Windows PC environments. The tool itself appears to be Windows-only, with requirements for Windows Server, .NET Framework, and Visual C++ Redistributable. There are no Linux or macOS examples, nor any mention of running the tool or generating reports on non-Windows platforms. Windows tools and patterns are referenced exclusively and before any alternatives (which are not provided).
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the prerequisites and introduction that the Deployment Planner tool is Windows-only, if that is the case.
- If the tool can be run on Linux (e.g., via Mono or Wine), provide instructions or examples for Linux users.
- If a Linux or cross-platform version is planned, mention it and provide an expected timeline.
- Offer guidance for Linux/macOS users on how to access the required functionality (e.g., running the tool in a Windows VM or container).
- Consider providing alternative tools or scripts for Linux environments if possible.
