Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by listing Hyper-V (a Windows virtualization platform) first and in detail, while VMware ESXi (a cross-platform solution) is mentioned second. There is no mention of Linux-native virtualization platforms (such as KVM or Xen), nor are there any Linux-specific instructions, tools, or examples. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux administrators or environments.
Recommendations
- Add support information and examples for Linux-native virtualization platforms (e.g., KVM, Xen) if supported, or explicitly state if they are not supported.
- Include Linux-specific instructions or considerations for deploying and managing the Data Box Gateway, such as recommended distributions, package dependencies, or configuration steps.
- Provide parity in examples and tooling references, ensuring that both Windows and Linux administrators can follow the documentation without ambiguity.
- If only Hyper-V and VMware are supported, clarify the lack of Linux-native hypervisor support and provide guidance for Linux users on how to proceed.
