Bias Analysis

powershell_heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows guest OS settings (e.g., instructing users to select 'Windows' and 'Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)' as the guest OS in VMware), and by providing only PowerShell cmdlet examples (e.g., Set-HcsIpAddress) for network configuration. There are no Linux-based examples or mentions of Linux guest OS support, nor are there alternative instructions for Linux users.
Recommendations:
- Include instructions and screenshots for provisioning the Data Box Gateway as a Linux guest OS, if supported, or clarify OS support limitations.
- Provide equivalent Linux shell commands or configuration steps for network setup, in addition to the PowerShell cmdlets.
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based management or configuration is supported or unsupported, and provide guidance for Linux administrators where possible.
- If only Windows is supported, clarify this early in the prerequisites and provisioning steps to set user expectations.
