Summary
The documentation does not display overt Windows bias in terms of language, tools, or examples, but it does lack any explicit mention of Linux or cross-platform considerations. For example, the only protocol recommended for data-in-flight is SMB 3.0 with encryption, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments, though it is available on Linux via Samba. There are no examples or guidance for Linux users, nor are Linux-specific tools, protocols, or workflows mentioned. No PowerShell or Windows-specific commands are present, but the absence of Linux parity is notable.
Recommendations
- Explicitly mention Linux compatibility for Data Box operations, including supported protocols (e.g., NFS, SFTP) if available.
- Provide examples or references for connecting to Data Box from Linux hosts, including mounting instructions and security considerations.
- Clarify whether recommended protocols like SMB 3.0 are supported and secure on Linux (e.g., via Samba), and provide guidance for Linux administrators.
- Include any Linux-specific tools or command-line examples for interacting with Data Box devices.
- Add a section or note addressing cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS) support and best practices.
