Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows/Hyper-V as the primary provisioning method, mentioning Windows Server versions explicitly, and omitting any mention of Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM or VirtualBox) or native Linux deployment options. All host system requirements and download links are for Hyper-V (Windows) or VMware ESXi, with no Linux-native alternatives or instructions provided.
Recommendations:
- Include explicit instructions or references for deploying Data Box Gateway on Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, VirtualBox) if supported.
- Present provisioning options for Windows and Linux platforms in parallel, rather than listing Windows/Hyper-V first.
- Add a section or note clarifying Linux compatibility, or explicitly state if Linux host support is not available.
- If Linux is not supported, provide a rationale and suggest alternative Azure data transfer solutions for Linux users.
- Ensure that prerequisites and examples mention both Windows and Linux environments where applicable.
