Summary:
The documentation page exhibits a moderate Windows bias, particularly in its discussion of the Zerto Cloud Appliance (ZCA), which is described as a Windows-only VM. The ZCA's core services (ZVM and VRA) are both Windows services, and no Linux alternatives or equivalents are mentioned for this component. While the core Zerto management and replication appliances (ZVMA and vRA) are Linux-based, the documentation gives more detailed attention to the Windows-based ZCA, especially in the context of Azure VM disaster recovery. There are no command-line examples or scripts, but the lack of Linux options for ZCA and the explicit mention of Windows services without Linux parity is a notable bias.
Recommendations:
- If Zerto supports Linux-based alternatives for ZCA or its services, document them alongside or before the Windows options.
- Where possible, clarify whether ZCA functionality is strictly limited to Windows, or if Linux-based deployment is on the roadmap.
- Provide parity in technical detail for both Linux and Windows components, including architecture diagrams and operational guidance.
- If scripts or command-line instructions are added in the future, ensure both PowerShell (Windows) and Bash (Linux) examples are provided.
- Explicitly state platform limitations and recommend best practices for Linux users where Windows-only tools are required.
