Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for VMware disaster recovery 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 or alternatives. The tool itself appears to require Windows, and report generation requires Excel on Windows. There are no Linux/macOS usage instructions, examples, or parity tools provided.
Recommendations
- Clearly state in the prerequisites and introduction whether the Deployment Planner tool is Windows-only, and if so, explain the rationale.
- If possible, provide a Linux-compatible version of the Deployment Planner tool, or document any workarounds for Linux/macOS users (e.g., running the tool in a Windows VM or via Wine).
- Offer alternative report generation instructions for users who do not have access to Excel on Windows (e.g., using LibreOffice, or exporting to CSV).
- Add a note about platform limitations early in the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
