Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several ways: Windows terminology, tools, and configurations are consistently mentioned before Linux equivalents, with more detail and coverage for Windows scenarios. Windows-specific technologies (e.g., Windows Failover Cluster, Scale-Out File Server, SIOS Datakeeper) are described in depth, while Linux solutions (e.g., Pacemaker) are often grouped together or mentioned after Windows. Some examples and recommendations are Windows-only or lack Linux command-line or configuration examples. In certain sections, Linux alternatives are only briefly referenced or require the reader to consult external documentation, and Oracle Linux is explicitly called out as unsupported for some features, with third-party solutions required.
Recommendations:
- Ensure that Linux-based solutions (e.g., Pacemaker, DRBD, GlusterFS) are described with the same level of detail and prominence as Windows solutions, including step-by-step configuration or links to such guides.
- Present Linux and Windows options in parallel, rather than listing Windows first or in more detail.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., for resource limiting, cluster setup) where Windows-specific tools or PowerShell commands are mentioned.
- Where third-party solutions are required for Linux (e.g., Oracle Linux HA), provide clear guidance, supported options, and links to official documentation, not just a mention.
- Review all tables and lists to ensure Linux distributions and tools are included wherever Windows is referenced.
- Add explicit Linux examples for monitoring, memory/cpu capping, and storage configuration, not just generic statements.
- Highlight any feature parity gaps and, if possible, provide workarounds or roadmaps for Linux support.
