Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows and PowerShell are mentioned as deployment and management options, while equivalent Linux CLI or automation options are not provided. The replication appliance is required to run Windows Server, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives. PowerShell is referenced for VMware deployment, but there are no Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples. Several configuration and management instructions reference Windows-specific tools, roles, and group policies, with no Linux equivalents or guidance. While Linux support matrices are comprehensive, Linux is often treated as a secondary consideration in deployment and management workflows.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-based deployment and management options where possible (e.g., Bash scripts, Azure CLI, Ansible).
- Include Linux shell/CLI examples alongside or before PowerShell examples.
- Document any limitations or roadmap for supporting the replication appliance on Linux.
- Where Windows-specific tools or group policies are referenced, add equivalent Linux guidance or explicitly state if not applicable.
- Ensure parity in automation and scripting guidance for both Windows and Linux administrators.
- Clarify in each scenario whether Linux is fully supported, partially supported, or unsupported, and provide links to Linux-specific setup guides.
