Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (such as Windows Defender, Device Guard, BitLocker, and Hyper-V Manager) and PowerShell for remote management, without mentioning Linux equivalents or providing Linux-based examples. The guidance and security recommendations are tailored to Windows environments, with no discussion of Linux hypervisors, Linux-compatible encryption, or remote management via Linux-native tools.
Recommendations:
- Include equivalent Linux-based instructions and examples for all management and security tasks, such as using SSH for remote access, and Linux-native disk encryption tools (e.g., LUKS/dm-crypt) for protecting virtual disks.
- Mention and provide guidance for deploying Data Box Gateway on popular Linux hypervisors (such as KVM or VMware on Linux) alongside Hyper-V.
- Reference Linux-compatible malware protection solutions if available, or clarify the security posture when running the device on Linux hosts.
- Provide parity in documentation structure by presenting Linux and Windows options side by side, rather than Windows-first or Windows-only.
- Clarify any platform limitations (e.g., if certain features are Windows-only) and suggest best practices for Linux users.
