Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows terminology, tools, and patterns are often mentioned first or exclusively (e.g., 'roles and features (Windows servers only)', SQL Server, .NET/IIS web apps). Linux is referenced, but with less detail and fewer examples. There are no Linux-specific database or web app examples, and the documentation does not provide parity in describing Linux workloads or tools. The credential and permissions section for Linux is more technical, but lacks practical examples or guidance compared to Windows.
Recommendations:
- Provide Linux-specific examples for database and web application discovery and inventory (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL, Apache, Nginx).
- When listing workload types, alternate the order or explicitly mention both Windows and Linux equivalents (e.g., 'a server can be a Linux or Windows server').
- Expand the 'Software inventory' section to clarify what is collected on Linux servers and provide examples.
- Include more details and examples for Linux credential setup, troubleshooting, and permissions, similar to the Windows guidance.
- In tables and attribute lists, ensure Linux workloads and technologies are represented equally alongside Windows ones.
- Add screenshots or walkthroughs that show Linux server discovery and inventory views, not just Windows-centric ones.
