Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All installation instructions, screenshots, and operational details assume a Windows environment. There is no mention of Linux or macOS support, nor are there any examples or instructions for non-Windows systems. The documentation references Windows-specific tools (e.g., PowerShell cmdlets, Windows service accounts), and even basic commands (like 'whoami /upn') are Windows-only. The use of PowerShell for automation is highlighted without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether the on-premises data gateway is supported on Linux or macOS. If not, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux/macOS support exists, provide parallel installation and configuration instructions, including relevant screenshots and command-line examples.
- Offer automation examples using cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI, bash scripts) in addition to PowerShell.
- Reference Linux equivalents for commands (e.g., how to find the UPN or equivalent on Linux).
- Discuss service management (start/stop/restart) for the gateway on Linux if supported, or clarify that only Windows services are available.
- When mentioning Windows-specific tools or patterns, provide context or alternatives for non-Windows users.
