Summary:
The documentation page for Azure Data Box demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific tools (e.g., SharePoint Migration Tool, Veeam for Hyper-V, SQL Server) and omitting explicit Linux usage examples or Linux-native tools. The workflow and setup instructions do not mention Linux hosts or provide Linux-specific guidance for mounting shares or copying data. The documentation also references Windows-centric scenarios (e.g., VM farm, SQL Server) before mentioning more cross-platform or Linux-relevant use cases (e.g., HDFS).
Recommendations:
- Add explicit Linux usage examples for mounting SMB/NFS shares and copying data to/from Data Box devices, including relevant commands (e.g., mount, rsync, cp).
- Reference Linux-native tools and scenarios (e.g., using rsync, tar, or Linux backup solutions) alongside Windows tools.
- Include guidance for both Windows and Linux environments in workflow/setup steps, ensuring parity in instructions and troubleshooting.
- Mention Linux-based workloads (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, Linux VMs) as migration examples, not just Windows-centric ones.
- Where third-party tools are referenced (e.g., Veeam, Commvault), clarify their Linux support or suggest Linux alternatives if available.
