Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias, particularly in operational examples and tooling. PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (e.g., NetQosPolicy, Windows Scheduled Tasks) are used exclusively in example scripts for bandwidth throttling, with no Linux equivalents provided. The guidance for operational tasks like scripting, automation, and bandwidth management is Windows-centric. Additionally, Windows OS upgrade during migration is supported and documented, while Linux OS upgrade is explicitly stated as unsupported, with no roadmap or workaround. In several sections, Windows scenarios and tools are mentioned before Linux, and Linux-specific migration nuances are less detailed.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Linux-based examples for operational tasks such as bandwidth throttling (e.g., using tc, wondershaper, or iptables on Linux).
  • Include Linux shell script examples alongside PowerShell for automation and scheduled tasks (e.g., using cron jobs).
  • Document any Linux-specific migration caveats, best practices, or troubleshooting steps with the same depth as Windows.
  • Clarify Linux OS upgrade support status and, if unsupported, provide guidance or workarounds for Linux users.
  • When listing supported operating systems or migration scenarios, alternate the order or present Linux and Windows options with equal prominence.
  • Reference cross-platform tools where possible, or explicitly state when a feature is Windows-only and suggest alternatives for Linux.
