Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Microsoft Hyper-V (a Windows-centric hypervisor) alongside VMware ESXi as the only explicitly supported hypervisors, with dedicated links and guidance for both. Linux-native hypervisors such as KVM or Xen are not mentioned, nor are there any Linux-specific deployment examples or references. The documentation also references Windows tools (Hyper-V) before mentioning or omitting Linux alternatives, and does not provide parity in examples or guidance for Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention support (or lack thereof) for popular Linux hypervisors such as KVM/QEMU and Xen, and provide guidance or links for deploying on these platforms if supported.
- Include Linux-focused deployment examples or walkthroughs, such as creating and configuring VMs using virsh, virt-manager, or other Linux-native tools.
- Balance the order of hypervisor/tool mentions so that Linux and Windows options are presented equally, or clarify the reasoning for any prioritization.
- If Linux hypervisors are not supported, clearly state this in the documentation to avoid ambiguity.
- Provide troubleshooting or configuration notes relevant to Linux environments (e.g., setting promiscuous mode on Linux bridges, configuring SR-IOV on Linux hosts).
