Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific concepts and links before or instead of Linux equivalents. For example, the 'Availability set' link points to a Windows VM tutorial, and the instructions for connecting to failed-over VMs mention RDP (Windows) before SSH (Linux) without providing explicit Linux connection examples or links. There are no Linux-specific instructions or examples, despite mentioning Linux VMs in the context of failover times.
Recommendations:
  • Provide parallel Linux examples and links where Windows-specific instructions or links are given (e.g., link to both Windows and Linux VM availability set documentation).
  • When discussing connecting to failed-over VMs, include explicit SSH instructions and a link to the Azure Linux VM SSH connection documentation alongside the RDP/Windows link.
  • Where relevant, clarify any differences in failover or recovery steps for Linux VMs, especially since Linux VMs are mentioned as potentially having longer failover times.
  • Ensure that terminology and instructions are platform-neutral unless a step is truly Windows-specific, in which case, provide a Linux alternative or note.

Windows Tools Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by specifically mentioning the handling of VMware tools for Windows VMs during failover/failback, without referencing Linux VMs or their equivalent tooling. There are no examples or notes about Linux VMs, their requirements, or any differences in the failback process. The only OS-specific guidance is for Windows, and Linux scenarios are omitted.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent notes or guidance for Linux VMs, such as how VMware tools or open-vm-tools are handled during failover/failback.
  • Explicitly mention if the process is the same or different for Linux VMs, and highlight any OS-specific considerations.
  • Include troubleshooting tips or common issues for Linux VMs, similar to the note provided for Windows.
  • Ensure parity in examples and notes by providing both Windows and Linux perspectives wherever OS-specific behavior is relevant.

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates subtle Windows bias by referencing Windows-centric connection methods (RDP) before Linux (SSH), and by linking only to Windows VM connection instructions. There are no explicit Linux-specific examples or guidance, and troubleshooting or validation steps do not mention Linux VMs or tools. The only mention of Linux is in the context of longer failover times, not in usage instructions.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equal prominence to Linux and Windows in connection instructions. For example, mention SSH for Linux VMs before or alongside RDP for Windows VMs.
  • Include links to both Windows and Linux VM connection guides (e.g., /azure/virtual-machines/linux/ssh-from-windows).
  • Add Linux-specific validation and troubleshooting steps, such as verifying SSH access, checking Linux services, or using Linux command-line tools.
  • Where examples or screenshots are provided, ensure both Windows and Linux scenarios are covered.
  • Explicitly mention any differences in failover or post-failover steps for Linux VMs, not just in performance notes.

Windows First Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias, especially in the 'Prepare on-premises to connect after failover' section, where Windows instructions are more detailed and appear before Linux instructions. Windows-specific tools and settings (e.g., Windows Firewall, WinHTTP proxy, SAN policy) are mentioned, while Linux guidance is minimal and lacks equivalent detail. There are also missing Linux examples for some troubleshooting and configuration steps.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux instructions with equal detail and prominence as Windows, including firewall configuration (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw), SSH service management, and handling of persistent routes or proxies.
  • List Linux and Windows procedures side-by-side or in parallel sections, rather than always listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting resources and links, similar to the Windows RDP troubleshooting tips provided.
  • Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-specific settings (e.g., SAN policy, pending updates) or clarify if not applicable.
  • Ensure all automation and scripting examples (if any) are cross-platform or provide both PowerShell and Bash/Shell script samples.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a clear Windows bias: troubleshooting steps, examples, and tool references are predominantly Windows-centric, with detailed instructions and command-line examples for Windows, while Linux guidance is often less detailed, grouped at the end, or missing entirely for some scenarios. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., registry edits, net commands, Control Panel, Task Manager, Group Policy, WMI, VSS, DCOM) are described in depth, while Linux equivalents are either briefly mentioned or omitted. Linux troubleshooting is often summarized in a few steps, with less context and fewer examples.
Recommendations:
  • For every Windows-specific troubleshooting step, provide an equivalent Linux example or procedure, including command-line instructions and file locations.
  • Where Windows tools (e.g., registry editor, net, Control Panel, Task Manager, Group Policy, WMI, VSS) are referenced, include Linux tools and commands (e.g., systemctl, journalctl, SSH configuration, system logs, package management, systemd services).
  • Avoid presenting Windows steps or tools first by default; instead, structure sections to address both platforms equally, or clearly separate Windows and Linux subsections.
  • Add Linux-specific troubleshooting for agent installation failures, privilege issues, login failures, connectivity checks (e.g., using ssh, sftp, systemctl status), and disk/driver issues.
  • Include screenshots or terminal output examples for Linux where Windows screenshots are provided.
  • Reference Linux documentation or official resources for advanced troubleshooting (e.g., SSH hardening, system logs, SELinux/AppArmor, package installation).
  • Ensure parity in detail and clarity between Windows and Linux troubleshooting instructions throughout the document.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples, prerequisites, and operational steps assume the use of Windows Server (2012 R2/2016), PowerShell, and Windows-specific tools and frameworks (.NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable). There are no Linux equivalents or cross-platform instructions, and the tool appears to be designed exclusively for Windows, with no mention of Linux support or alternative workflows.
Recommendations:
  • Clearly state in the introduction that the Deployment Planner tool is Windows-only, if that is the case. If not, provide explicit instructions for Linux environments.
  • If possible, develop and document a cross-platform version of the Deployment Planner tool that can run on Linux or macOS, or provide a containerized version.
  • Provide equivalent command-line examples for Linux (e.g., using SSH, OpenSSL, or other cross-platform tools) where possible.
  • If PowerShell is required, mention PowerShell Core (pwsh) and its cross-platform capabilities, and provide instructions for installing and running the tool on Linux.
  • List any limitations or lack of support for non-Windows environments explicitly in the prerequisites section.
  • For report generation, suggest open-source alternatives to Microsoft Excel (such as LibreOffice Calc) or provide CSV/JSON output options.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation provides troubleshooting steps for both Windows and Linux VMs but tends to offer more detailed or favorable solutions for Windows. For example, when discussing static IPs after failback, it notes that Windows VMs can reacquire their static IPs automatically, while Linux users are told to manually reconfigure the IP, with no command-line example provided. There are no PowerShell-specific commands or Windows-only tools, but Linux-specific troubleshooting is less detailed and lacks parity in guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit Linux command-line examples (e.g., how to set a static IP on common distributions) alongside Windows guidance.
  • Clarify any differences in process between Windows and Linux VMs, and ensure both are covered equally in troubleshooting steps.
  • Where Windows behavior is described as automatic, explain if and how similar automation can be achieved for Linux (e.g., via cloud-init or network manager scripts).
  • Include references to Linux tools (e.g., nmcli, ifconfig, systemctl) where relevant, not just generic instructions.
  • Review all troubleshooting steps to ensure Linux users are not left with manual, less-detailed, or less-automated solutions.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Windows instructions and tools (such as registry edits and Windows Firewall) are described in greater detail and appear before Linux equivalents. The Windows RDP section is more comprehensive, mentioning specific firewall settings and SAN policy, while the Linux SSH section is brief and lacks comparable troubleshooting or configuration depth. There are also references to Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., registry, Windows Firewall) without Linux analogs or detailed Linux examples.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux instructions with equivalent detail to Windows, such as specifying how to configure SSH, firewall (e.g., iptables, firewalld, ufw), and SELinux/AppArmor settings.
  • Include troubleshooting steps for Linux VMs after failover, similar to the Windows RDP troubleshooting section.
  • When listing steps for both OS types, alternate the order or present them in parallel sections to avoid always listing Windows first.
  • Where Windows-specific tools (e.g., registry, Windows Firewall) are mentioned, provide Linux equivalents (e.g., editing /etc/ssh/sshd_config, using systemctl to enable SSH, configuring firewall rules).
  • Add links to Linux-specific documentation for further reading, as is done for Windows.

Missing Linux Example Windows First
Summary:
The documentation page focuses exclusively on Azure portal and graphical workflows, which are typically more familiar to Windows users. There are no command-line examples (such as Azure CLI or PowerShell), and there is no mention of Linux-specific tools, workflows, or considerations. The step-by-step instructions and screenshots are all based on the Azure portal, which is platform-agnostic but often associated with Windows-centric usage patterns. There is no guidance for users who prefer or require Linux-based automation or command-line approaches.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent Azure CLI examples for each migration step, including commands to enable managed identities, assign roles, and update authentication types. This will help Linux users who rely on CLI tools.
  • Explicitly mention that all steps can be performed from any OS using the Azure CLI or ARM templates, and provide links to relevant documentation.
  • Include a section or callout for Linux administrators, highlighting any differences or additional considerations when performing these tasks from a Linux environment.
  • Provide PowerShell examples as well, but ensure they are presented alongside (not before) Azure CLI examples to avoid Windows-first bias.
  • Where screenshots are used, clarify that the Azure portal is accessible from any OS and that no Windows-specific tools are required.

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All detailed examples focus exclusively on Windows VMs, with disk layouts, drive letters (C:, D:, etc.), and screenshots from Windows interfaces. Instructions reference Windows-specific tools (diskmgmt.msc, service console, command prompt, Net start/stop). SQL Server examples assume Windows as the guest OS. There are no Linux VM examples, nor are Linux-specific tools, filesystems, or commands mentioned. Even when Linux is referenced (e.g., in failback behavior), it is only in passing, not as a worked example.
Recommendations:
  • Add parallel Linux VM examples for disk exclusion, failover, and failback, including typical Linux disk layouts (e.g., /, /var, /tmp, /mnt/data) and relevant files (e.g., swap, tempdb for SQL Server on Linux, etc.).
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for adding and formatting disks (e.g., using fdisk, mkfs, mount, and updating /etc/fstab).
  • Show how to manage SQL Server tempdb on Linux (e.g., using systemctl for service management, Linux file paths, and sqlcmd usage on Linux).
  • Reference Linux tools and commands (e.g., lsblk, parted, systemctl) alongside Windows tools.
  • Provide screenshots or terminal output from Linux environments where appropriate.
  • Clarify any differences in behavior or limitations for Linux VMs, not just Windows.
  • Ensure that all tables and scenarios include both Windows and Linux perspectives where relevant.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific features, tools, and examples (such as PowerShell and Volume Shadow Copy Service) are mentioned prominently, often without equivalent Linux guidance or examples. In some sections, Linux support is only briefly referenced or explicitly excluded (e.g., shared disks), and Windows terminology or tools are used as the default or only example. PowerShell is frequently suggested for advanced tasks, with no mention of Bash, CLI, or Linux-native alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-specific examples and guidance alongside Windows examples, especially for scripting and automation (e.g., show Azure CLI or Bash scripts in addition to PowerShell).
  • When referencing Windows tools or features (such as VSS), include Linux equivalents or explain how similar functionality can be achieved on Linux (e.g., using pre/post scripts for app-consistency).
  • Avoid presenting Windows options or tools first by default; instead, present both Windows and Linux options in parallel or clarify applicability.
  • Where features are unsupported for Linux (e.g., shared disks), clearly state this early and provide links to feature requests or workarounds if available.
  • Expand documentation for Linux-specific scenarios, such as encrypted disk replication, app-consistent snapshots, and automation using non-Windows tools.
  • Include troubleshooting and best practices sections for both Windows and Linux environments.

Windows First Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all steps, but consistently lists PowerShell examples after CLI, and does not include any Linux- or Bash-specific guidance or context. While Azure CLI is cross-platform, the explicit inclusion of PowerShell (a Windows-centric tool, despite its recent cross-platform support) and the lack of any mention of Bash scripting or Linux shell environments may create a subtle Windows bias. There are no Linux-specific tools, patterns, or troubleshooting notes, and no explicit mention that all steps work identically on Linux/macOS.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state that Azure CLI commands work on Windows, Linux, and macOS, and can be run from Bash or other Unix shells.
  • Add a short section or note confirming that all steps are cross-platform, and that PowerShell is optional.
  • Consider including Bash-specific examples or notes for users who may be scripting in Bash.
  • Where PowerShell is mentioned, clarify that it is available cross-platform, but not required for Linux/macOS users.
  • If possible, provide troubleshooting tips or links for common issues encountered on Linux/macOS environments.

Windows First Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in the section on configuring the Microsoft monitoring agent for churn and upload rate logs. It exclusively provides instructions and screenshots for installing and configuring the Windows agent, with no mention of Linux agents or instructions for Linux-based Process Servers. The 'Connected Sources' setup, agent download, and performance counter configuration are all Windows-specific, and there are no Linux equivalents or guidance for Linux-based environments.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent instructions for installing and configuring the Microsoft monitoring agent on Linux-based Process Servers, including download links, configuration steps, and screenshots.
  • Include guidance on setting up Linux performance counters or their equivalents, and how to collect churn/upload rate metrics from Linux Process Servers.
  • Wherever agent installation is discussed, mention both Windows and Linux options, or clarify if Linux is not supported.
  • Ensure that all steps and screenshots are provided for both platforms, or explicitly state platform limitations.
  • Review all examples and instructions to ensure Linux parity, and add Linux-specific troubleshooting or notes where relevant.

Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based setup instructions as the only command-line/manual alternative to the OVF template, referencing Windows registry and group policy settings, and omitting Linux-based setup or troubleshooting examples. Windows-specific tools and configuration patterns are mentioned exclusively, and Linux is only referenced in the context of VM credentials, not as a platform for the appliance or for management tasks.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Linux-based setup instructions for deploying and configuring the replication appliance, including command-line examples using Bash or shell scripts.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and configuration checks (e.g., for connectivity, permissions, or required packages) alongside Windows registry and group policy checks.
  • Clarify whether the replication appliance can be deployed on Linux-based VMs, and if so, provide guidance for those scenarios.
  • When referencing PowerShell, also mention or link to Linux-compatible alternatives (such as Azure CLI or shell scripts) where possible.
  • Ensure that examples and screenshots are balanced between Windows and Linux environments, or explicitly state platform limitations if Windows is the only supported OS.

Summary:
The documentation exhibits a mild Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific resources before their Linux equivalents and mentioning Windows tools (such as SQL Server Always On) without Linux alternatives. For example, the link for availability sets points to a Windows VM tutorial, and the multi-tier architecture example uses SQL Server, which is traditionally associated with Windows environments.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equal prominence to Linux in documentation links, such as linking to both Windows and Linux VM availability set tutorials.
  • Include examples or references to Linux-based database solutions (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL) alongside SQL Server in architecture diagrams and descriptions.
  • Ensure that any tool or technology mentioned (such as SQL Server Always On) is accompanied by Linux-compatible alternatives or a note about Linux support.
  • Review all example commands, screenshots, and walkthroughs to ensure they are not Windows-centric and, where possible, provide Linux equivalents.

Summary:
The documentation provides a step-by-step tutorial for setting up disaster recovery using the Azure portal UI, but does not include any command-line examples or references for either Windows (PowerShell/Command Prompt) or Linux (Bash/CLI). However, it implicitly assumes a GUI workflow, which is more familiar to Windows users, and does not mention or provide parity for Linux-centric workflows (such as using the Azure CLI in Bash). There is no explicit Windows bias in terms of tools or examples, but the lack of Linux command-line guidance represents a gap.
Recommendations:
  • Add Azure CLI (az) command-line examples for enabling VM replication, suitable for both Linux and Windows users.
  • Include references or links to documentation on how to perform the same disaster recovery setup using Bash or other Linux shells.
  • Clarify that the process can be completed via both the Azure portal and command-line tools, and provide parity in instructions.
  • If PowerShell examples are added in the future, ensure equivalent Bash/Azure CLI examples are also provided.

Powershell Heavy Windows First Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas. Troubleshooting steps for hydration failures provide detailed, step-by-step PowerShell scripts and registry instructions for Windows Guest OS, but do not offer equivalent Linux guidance. Windows tools like PsExec and Internet Explorer are referenced for proxy troubleshooting, with no Linux alternatives. In some sections, Windows-specific errors and solutions are described in detail before Linux is mentioned, and Linux troubleshooting is often limited or absent. Only one Linux-specific command is provided (for serial console issues), and even there, the context is minimal compared to the Windows sections.
Recommendations:
  • For every Windows-specific troubleshooting script or step (e.g., hydration, registry changes), provide equivalent Linux commands or scripts (e.g., systemd service checks, driver/module configuration).
  • When referencing Windows tools like PsExec and Internet Explorer, also describe how to achieve the same outcome on Linux (e.g., using curl, wget, or editing environment variables directly).
  • Ensure Linux troubleshooting examples are as detailed as Windows ones, including command-line steps, expected outputs, and error interpretation.
  • When listing troubleshooting steps, avoid always presenting Windows first; alternate or group by OS, or clearly label sections for each OS.
  • Expand Linux coverage in sections where only Windows is discussed (e.g., hydration, proxy settings, unexpected shutdowns), or explicitly state if an issue is Windows-only.
  • Provide links to relevant Linux documentation and tools alongside Windows references.

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All examples, references, and linked resources are focused on Windows-based SQL Server deployments. There are no instructions, examples, or considerations for Linux-based SQL Server, despite its support. Windows-specific tools (e.g., Task Manager, PowerShell scripts) are referenced exclusively, and all high availability/disaster recovery patterns are described in the context of Windows. Linux equivalents are not mentioned or provided.
Recommendations:
  • Include explicit guidance and examples for SQL Server running on Linux, including supported BCDR technologies and any Azure Site Recovery considerations.
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for monitoring (e.g., using iostat, vmstat, or other Linux tools instead of Task Manager).
  • Offer PowerShell alternatives or equivalent Bash/shell scripts for automation steps, or clarify if only Windows is supported.
  • Reference and link to documentation for SQL Server on Linux high availability and disaster recovery options.
  • Clearly state any limitations or lack of support for Linux scenarios, if applicable, to avoid confusion.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally where both are supported.

Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows workloads (Active Directory, SQL Server, SharePoint, Exchange, IIS, Dynamics AX, RDS) in both structure and detail. Windows tools and technologies are mentioned exclusively or in greater depth, while Linux and open-source equivalents are only briefly referenced or grouped generically. There are no Linux-specific examples, tools, or application scenarios, and the documentation lacks parity in describing Linux disaster recovery workflows.
Recommendations:
  • Add Linux-first sections or examples, such as protecting common Linux workloads (e.g., Apache, NGINX, MySQL/PostgreSQL, Samba, LDAP).
  • Include Linux-specific disaster recovery workflows, tools, and best practices, such as integration with systemd, cron, rsync, or native Linux clustering solutions.
  • Provide example scripts or automation for Linux environments (e.g., bash scripts) alongside or before Windows/PowerShell examples.
  • Highlight open-source and cross-platform applications (e.g., PostgreSQL, MariaDB, Tomcat) with the same level of detail as Windows workloads.
  • Ensure parity in technical depth and guidance for both Windows and Linux scenarios, including references to relevant Linux documentation and community best practices.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a moderate Windows bias. Windows tools, paths, and PowerShell are mentioned more frequently and often before Linux equivalents. Some instructions and examples (e.g., installation paths, manual installation, MySQL placement) are Windows-centric or only mention Windows locations. PowerShell is highlighted as a primary automation method, with less emphasis on Linux scripting or CLI alternatives. In a few cases, Linux equivalents are provided, but often as a secondary note or with less detail.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux examples and paths alongside Windows ones in all relevant sections (e.g., installer locations, MySQL placement).
  • When mentioning PowerShell, also reference Bash/CLI or scripting options for Linux users.
  • Ensure that automation and scripting guidance includes examples for Linux environments (e.g., Azure CLI, shell scripts).
  • List Linux instructions before or alongside Windows instructions to avoid 'Windows-first' ordering.
  • Where Windows tools or patterns are referenced (e.g., Configuration Manager), mention Linux alternatives (e.g., Ansible, shell scripts) if applicable.
  • Review all sections for implicit Windows assumptions and clarify cross-platform applicability.

Windows First Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows-first bias in several areas: Windows paths, tools, and examples are consistently presented before their Linux equivalents, and some sections (such as UI-based installation) focus almost exclusively on Windows. Windows-specific tools, directories, and patterns (e.g., C:\Program Files, command prompt, .exe installers) are referenced throughout, sometimes with Linux instructions only appended or less detailed. In some cases, Linux instructions are present but less prominent, and the overall structure and examples assume a Windows-centric environment.
Recommendations:
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel or in clearly separated, equally detailed sections, rather than always listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux-specific screenshots and UI walkthroughs where applicable, not just Windows UI images.
  • Use neutral language and file paths in general guidance (e.g., 'installation directory' instead of 'C:\Program Files...').
  • Where Windows-specific tools or services (e.g., VSS) are mentioned, provide equivalent Linux information or clarify if not applicable.
  • Ensure Linux command examples are as detailed and prominent as Windows examples, including troubleshooting and advanced options.
  • Highlight any differences in agent behavior or requirements between Windows and Linux explicitly, rather than assuming Windows as the default.
  • Where possible, provide a summary table or matrix showing parity and differences between Windows and Linux installation and configuration steps.

Windows First
Summary:
The documentation presents Windows VM instructions and supported OS lists before Linux equivalents in all relevant sections. While Linux content is present and reasonably complete, the ordering consistently prioritizes Windows, which may subtly reinforce a Windows-centric perspective.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux sections in different articles, or present them in parallel (side-by-side tabs or tables) to avoid implicit prioritization.
  • Explicitly state that both Windows and Linux are equally supported at the start of the document.
  • Ensure that any referenced links (such as how to enable Accelerated Networking) are equally prominent for both Windows (PowerShell) and Linux (CLI), possibly by grouping them together.
  • If possible, provide a unified section for steps that are identical across platforms, only splitting out platform-specific details as needed.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows tools and patterns first (e.g., Internet Explorer for proxy autodetection), providing detailed steps or context for Windows before Linux, and omitting Linux-specific troubleshooting examples (such as command-line checks or Linux-native tools). While Linux paths are mentioned for proxy configuration, there is a lack of parity in example depth and troubleshooting steps for Linux environments.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel Linux examples alongside Windows instructions, especially for troubleshooting steps (e.g., how to check DNS connectivity using Linux commands like dig or nslookup).
  • Include Linux-native tools and patterns (e.g., mention /etc/resolv.conf for DNS, use curl or wget for connectivity tests, reference Linux firewall tools like iptables or firewalld).
  • When referencing proxy autodetection, explain the Linux mechanism in equal detail as Windows (e.g., how the agent reads /etc/environment, and how to verify or set it).
  • Add screenshots or command-line snippets for Linux environments where Windows GUI screenshots are provided.
  • Ensure that all configuration file examples (like ProxyInfo.conf) include both Linux and Windows file paths and context, and clarify any OS-specific differences in behavior or troubleshooting.

All step-by-step instructions, architectural diagrams, and tool references are Windows-centric, with no equivalent Linux workflows or commands provided. While Azure Files is mentioned as being accessible from Linux, the actual disaster recovery procedures, sync setup, and failover instructions are only detailed for Windows environments.
Recommendations:
  • Add equivalent disaster recovery workflows and examples for Linux-based file servers, including how to replicate, failover, and recover Linux file shares using Azure Site Recovery or other Azure-native tools.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for mounting Azure Files (e.g., using SMB or NFS from Linux clients), and provide sample scripts or commands (such as mount.cifs or mount.nfs usage).
  • Reference and document open-source or cross-platform alternatives to DFSR and Active Directory for environments that do not use Windows Server.
  • Clearly indicate in each section whether the guidance applies to Windows, Linux, or both, and ensure Linux parity in all step-by-step guides and architectural diagrams.
  • Provide troubleshooting notes and port requirements relevant to Linux clients (e.g., SELinux, firewall-cmd, systemd mount units) when accessing Azure Files or participating in failover scenarios.

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Hyper-V and System Center VMM, with all instructions and prerequisites referencing Windows-only tools and workflows. There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based hypervisors or environments, and the only operating system mentioned for on-premises hosts is Windows. This creates a strong Windows bias and excludes Linux administrators from the documented failback process.
Recommendations:
  • Include explicit statements clarifying whether Linux-based hypervisors (such as KVM or Xen) are supported or not for Azure Site Recovery failback scenarios.
  • If Linux-based hypervisors are supported, provide equivalent instructions and examples for Linux environments, including any required tools, commands, or configuration steps.
  • If only Windows/Hyper-V is supported, add a clear note at the beginning of the documentation to set expectations for Linux users.
  • Where possible, mention cross-platform alternatives or tools, and avoid assuming the reader is using Windows exclusively.
  • Consider providing a comparison table or section outlining support and steps for both Windows and Linux on-premises environments, if applicable.

Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias, particularly in its reliance on PowerShell for scripting and automation examples. All command-line instructions are provided exclusively via Azure PowerShell, with no mention of Azure CLI or Bash alternatives that are more common in Linux environments. The structure and navigation of the page also prioritize Windows-centric tools and workflows, and there is a lack of Linux-specific guidance or parity in automation examples. The only Linux mention is a caution about CentOS EOL, not a usage example.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Azure CLI (az) command examples alongside PowerShell for all automation and scripting steps, especially for Linux users.
  • Include Bash shell script examples where appropriate, or at least reference how to perform the same actions in a Linux environment.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and cross-platform tools (like Azure CLI) are mentioned before or alongside Windows/PowerShell tools.
  • Add explicit guidance or links for Linux administrators, such as how to install and use Azure CLI, and how to automate Site Recovery tasks from Linux.
  • Clarify in the prerequisites and throughout the document that all actions can be performed from Linux/macOS as well as Windows, and specify any differences.
  • Consider adding a dedicated section or callout for Linux users, summarizing the cross-platform options and any caveats.

Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All examples use Windows-style paths (e.g., E:\...), reference Windows-native tools (Notepad), and assume the use of the ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe executable, which is a Windows binary. There is no mention of running the tool or equivalent operations on Linux, nor are there any Linux shell or PowerShell alternatives. The documentation assumes the user is operating in a Windows/Hyper-V ecosystem, with no guidance for Linux administrators.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state if the tool is only supported on Windows. If cross-platform support exists, add Linux-specific instructions and examples.
  • Provide Linux/Unix path examples (e.g., /home/user/Hyper-V_ProfiledData) alongside Windows paths.
  • If the tool can be run under Wine or Mono on Linux, document the process.
  • Replace or supplement references to Notepad with cross-platform editors (e.g., nano, vim, gedit) or generic instructions (e.g., 'open the file in a text editor').
  • Clarify any prerequisites or limitations for non-Windows users.
  • If the tool is Windows-only, suggest alternative approaches or tools for Linux environments where possible.

Windows First Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation provides both Azure CLI and Azure PowerShell examples for all operations, but consistently lists PowerShell as an equal alternative rather than a secondary option. However, there is a subtle Windows bias in the ordering and presentation: PowerShell is always presented alongside CLI, and never as a footnote or afterthought. There are no explicit Linux-specific instructions, nor is there mention of Bash or Linux shell environments, which may leave Linux users with questions about prerequisites or environment setup. The use of Azure CLI does provide cross-platform parity, but the documentation does not explicitly acknowledge or support Linux users beyond this.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly mention that Azure CLI commands work on Linux, macOS, and Windows, and that PowerShell examples are primarily for Windows or PowerShell Core users.
  • Add a note or section about running Azure CLI in Bash or other Linux shells, including any environment setup steps if needed.
  • If possible, provide Bash script examples or clarify that the CLI commands are intended for use in Bash or other Unix-like shells as well.
  • Consider listing Azure CLI (cross-platform) examples first, and PowerShell (Windows-centric) examples second, to emphasize Linux parity.
  • Include a brief statement in the prerequisites about supported operating systems and shells for each tool.

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation exclusively references Windows Server as the supported operating system for the replication appliance, with all configuration, folder paths, and group policy settings specific to Windows. There are no mentions of Linux support, Linux equivalents, or cross-platform considerations. All antivirus exclusions and operational details are Windows-centric, and Windows administrative tools and patterns (e.g., group policies, IIS, Windows folder paths) are referenced without Linux alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Explicitly state if Linux-based appliances are unsupported; if Linux is supported, add equivalent requirements, folder paths, and configuration steps for Linux systems.
  • Provide Linux-specific examples for antivirus exclusions, such as typical installation paths and exclusion syntax for common Linux antivirus solutions.
  • If only Windows is supported, clarify this early in the documentation to set expectations for non-Windows users.
  • If future support for Linux is planned, include a roadmap or note for cross-platform parity.
  • Where possible, use neutral language (e.g., 'the appliance OS must be Windows Server 2022') and avoid implying Windows is the only platform unless that is a hard requirement.

Summary:
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows-based Active Directory and DNS disaster recovery, with all examples, tools, and troubleshooting steps referencing Windows Server, Windows command-line tools (e.g., dcdiag, nltest, dnscmd), Windows registry edits, and Windows-specific concepts (FSMO, SYSVOL, DFSR, FRS). There are no examples or guidance for Linux-based domain controllers (e.g., Samba AD DC) or DNS servers, nor are cross-platform considerations addressed. The documentation assumes the use of Windows Server throughout.
Recommendations:
  • Add sections or notes for environments using Samba Active Directory Domain Controllers on Linux, including replication and failover considerations.
  • Provide equivalent Linux-based DNS server disaster recovery steps (e.g., BIND, dnsmasq), including example commands for zone backup and restoration.
  • Include Linux command-line equivalents for key operations (e.g., checking DNS/AD health, updating DNS records) where possible.
  • Clarify early in the document that the guidance is specific to Windows Server AD/DNS, and provide links or references for Linux-based alternatives.
  • If Azure Site Recovery supports Linux-based AD/DNS, explicitly document the supported scenarios and any differences in procedure.

Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a bias toward Windows environments by focusing on Windows-centric tools (such as System Center VMM and Windows file share paths), providing script integration examples only for VMM (a Windows technology), and omitting explicit Linux or cross-platform scripting examples. There is no mention of Linux-based automation, shell scripts, or Linux-specific considerations, and the only scripting example uses a Windows UNC path and PowerShell script (.PS1).
Recommendations:
  • Include examples of integrating Linux scripts (e.g., Bash scripts) into recovery plans, especially for VMware and physical machine scenarios.
  • Document how to use Linux-based automation tools (such as Azure Automation with Python or Bash runbooks) in recovery plans.
  • Provide explicit instructions or examples for adding scripts located on Linux servers, including path formats and authentication considerations.
  • Mention Linux support and any differences in scripting or automation for Linux VMs in recovery plans.
  • Ensure parity in documentation by listing both Windows and Linux options where applicable, and avoid presenting Windows tools or patterns exclusively or first.

Summary:
The documentation consistently presents Windows troubleshooting steps before Linux ones, and provides more detailed, step-by-step instructions for Windows (including use of Windows-specific tools like services.msc and Control Panel). Linux instructions are less detailed and rely on external links for key steps. This ordering and level of detail may make Linux users feel like second-class citizens and could hinder their troubleshooting experience.
Recommendations:
  • Alternate the order of Windows and Linux troubleshooting steps, or present them in parallel sections to avoid always prioritizing Windows.
  • Provide equally detailed, step-by-step instructions for Linux troubleshooting, including explicit commands for checking agent status, restarting services, and uninstalling/reinstalling the agent.
  • Mention Linux tools and commands (e.g., systemctl, service, package managers) with the same prominence as Windows tools (services.msc, Control Panel).
  • Where Windows-specific tools are referenced, provide the Linux equivalent immediately after or alongside.
  • Ensure that all error messages and troubleshooting flows have Linux parity, not just links to external resources.

Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All command-line examples use Windows-style paths and syntax, and the only scripting example provided is with VMware vSphere PowerCLI (a Windows/PowerShell tool). The tool itself (ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe) is a Windows executable, and report generation requires Microsoft Excel on Windows. There are no Linux or cross-platform alternatives or examples, and Linux users are not addressed or given guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Provide explicit information about platform support for ASRDeploymentPlanner.exe (e.g., is it Windows-only? If so, state this clearly at the top).
  • If the tool is Windows-only, suggest workarounds for Linux/Mac users (such as using a Windows VM or container, or remote desktop to a Windows machine).
  • Offer alternative methods for generating the VM list using Linux tools (e.g., using govc, pyVmomi, or VMware CLI tools available on Linux) and provide equivalent bash or shell script examples.
  • Clarify whether the output report (Excel XLSM) can be viewed or processed on non-Windows platforms, and suggest alternatives if possible (e.g., using LibreOffice, or exporting to CSV).
  • Where possible, use platform-neutral language and avoid assuming the user is on Windows (e.g., avoid references to Notepad, Control Panel, or Windows-specific file paths unless necessary, and provide Linux/Mac equivalents where relevant).

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows-specific tools and patterns (such as Registry Editor, .msi installers, and command prompt usage) are mentioned and detailed extensively, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. Manual update procedures for appliance components are exclusively Windows-focused, with no Linux instructions for updating appliance components. Linux command-line instructions are provided for the mobility agent, but only after Windows instructions, and with less detail/context. There is no mention of Linux equivalents for actions like registry edits or .msi package handling.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for updating appliance components, including equivalent commands and file locations.
  • Ensure that Linux examples are presented alongside Windows examples, not only after or as an afterthought.
  • Include Linux-native tools and patterns (such as editing configuration files or using systemd/services) where Registry Editor or Windows-specific tools are referenced.
  • Clarify which steps are Windows-only and which are cross-platform; if a feature is not available on Linux, state this explicitly.
  • Balance screenshots and UI references to reflect both Windows and Linux environments where applicable.

Windows First Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows and PowerShell are mentioned as deployment and management options, while equivalent Linux CLI or automation options are not provided. The replication appliance is required to run Windows Server, with no mention of Linux-based alternatives. PowerShell is referenced for VMware deployment, but there are no Linux shell or cross-platform CLI examples. Several configuration and management instructions reference Windows-specific tools, roles, and group policies, with no Linux equivalents or guidance. While Linux support matrices are comprehensive, Linux is often treated as a secondary consideration in deployment and management workflows.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-based deployment and management options where possible (e.g., Bash scripts, Azure CLI, Ansible).
  • Include Linux shell/CLI examples alongside or before PowerShell examples.
  • Document any limitations or roadmap for supporting the replication appliance on Linux.
  • Where Windows-specific tools or group policies are referenced, add equivalent Linux guidance or explicitly state if not applicable.
  • Ensure parity in automation and scripting guidance for both Windows and Linux administrators.
  • Clarify in each scenario whether Linux is fully supported, partially supported, or unsupported, and provide links to Linux-specific setup guides.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows file paths, tools, and troubleshooting steps are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, such as referencing C:\ProgramData, using Windows-specific tools like PsExec and Internet Explorer, and providing more detailed instructions for Windows scenarios. Some sections lack Linux equivalents or provide less detail for Linux, and Windows command-line tools and patterns are prioritized over Linux alternatives.
Recommendations:
  • Ensure that Linux examples are provided wherever Windows examples are given, with equal detail and clarity.
  • When referencing file paths or logs, include both Windows and Linux locations side by side.
  • List Linux commands and troubleshooting steps before or alongside Windows ones, not always after.
  • Replace or supplement Windows-only tools (e.g., PsExec, Internet Explorer) with Linux equivalents (e.g., sudo, appropriate browsers, or command-line proxy configuration).
  • For sections like 'vCenter discovery failures' and 'Remove the stale entries for protected items', provide explicit Linux instructions or clarify if the steps are Windows-only.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform language and avoid assuming the user is on Windows (e.g., avoid 'Open an elevated command prompt' without mentioning the Linux equivalent).

Powershell Heavy Windows First Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing explicit instructions and tooling references for Windows environments (such as PowerShell cmdlets and compliance checks for Windows machines) while omitting equivalent Linux examples or guidance. Windows-specific preparation steps are described in detail, whereas Linux is only briefly mentioned, often as an afterthought. There are no Linux command-line examples or references to Linux-native tools for managing or monitoring disaster recovery processes.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line examples (e.g., using Azure CLI or shell scripts) alongside PowerShell cmdlets for tasks such as triggering failover.
  • Include detailed steps for preparing Linux machines for failover, similar to the compliance checks described for Windows.
  • Reference Linux-native tools or scripts for monitoring and managing replication and failover, not just Windows-based tools.
  • Ensure that Linux instructions are presented with equal prominence and detail as Windows instructions, rather than as secondary notes.
  • Where possible, use cross-platform tools (e.g., Azure CLI) in examples, or clearly indicate both Windows and Linux options.

Windows First Powershell Heavy Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias: Windows-specific troubleshooting steps, tools, and examples are provided in detail and appear first, while Linux guidance is often minimal, generic, or relegated to secondary notes. Many sections (e.g., VSS, WMI, File and Printer Sharing, registry edits, service management) focus exclusively on Windows tools and concepts, with Linux equivalents either missing or only briefly mentioned. Visual aids and command examples are almost entirely Windows-centric.
Recommendations:
  • Provide Linux-first or parallel Linux troubleshooting steps and examples alongside Windows instructions in each relevant section.
  • Include Linux command-line equivalents for all Windows command examples (e.g., service management, file sharing, network troubleshooting).
  • Add Linux-specific screenshots or terminal output where Windows GUI screenshots are used.
  • Document Linux equivalents for Windows tools and services (e.g., alternatives to WMI, VSS, File and Printer Sharing).
  • Ensure that Linux error codes and logs are referenced and troubleshooting steps are as detailed as for Windows.
  • Where registry edits are described for Windows, provide corresponding Linux configuration file changes if applicable.
  • Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows are treated equally, or alternate which platform is described first.

Powershell Heavy Windows First Windows Tools Missing Linux Example
Summary:
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by providing PowerShell-based update instructions only for Windows, listing Windows uninstall and VSS provider installation steps in greater detail and before Linux equivalents, and referencing Windows-specific tools (Control Panel, MsiExec.exe, VSS provider scripts) without offering comparable Linux automation or parity. Linux instructions are present but less detailed and lack automation/scripted examples.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Linux command-line or script-based examples for updating the Mobility agent, similar to the PowerShell example for Windows.
  • Ensure Linux uninstall instructions include both manual and automated/scripted methods, and offer parity in detail with Windows steps.
  • If there are Linux equivalents to the VSS provider or other Windows-specific tools, document their installation and management steps explicitly.
  • When listing procedures, present Windows and Linux instructions side-by-side or in parallel sections to avoid the impression of Windows-first priority.
  • Reference Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemctl, rpm, deb, shell scripts) where appropriate, and avoid assuming familiarity only with Windows environments.

Windows First Missing Linux Example Windows Tools Powershell Heavy
Summary:
The documentation page demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All troubleshooting steps, file paths, service names, and tool usage (e.g., Task Manager, Resource Monitor, Control Panel, registry editing, Telnet client installation) are presented exclusively with Windows terminology and tools. There are no Linux-specific instructions, examples, or equivalent commands provided, despite the process server potentially running on Linux or interacting with Linux-based source machines. This could hinder Linux administrators or mixed-environment users from effectively following the guidance.
Recommendations:
  • Provide equivalent Linux commands and procedures alongside Windows instructions (e.g., using systemctl for services, journalctl for logs, netcat or curl for connectivity checks, and Linux file paths).
  • Mention and demonstrate how to check process/server health, logs, and connectivity on Linux systems.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for common issues (e.g., checking firewall rules with iptables/nftables, using top/htop for resource monitoring).
  • Clarify in the introduction whether the process server is supported or expected to run only on Windows, or if Linux is also supported, and tailor the documentation accordingly.
  • Where Windows GUI tools are referenced (e.g., Task Manager, Resource Monitor), provide CLI alternatives suitable for Linux environments.

Page-Level Analysis

Windows First Windows Tools
Summary:
The documentation generally maintains parity between Linux and Windows in log file locations, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. In error message examples, Windows file paths and hostnames (e.g., C:\ paths, WIN- hostnames) are used, and Windows service names are referenced without Linux equivalents. Service restart instructions mention only Windows service names, omitting Linux systemd/service commands or service names. No explicit Linux troubleshooting commands or service management steps are provided.
Recommendations:
  • For every mention of Windows service names (e.g., 'Process Server', 'Microsoft Azure RCM Proxy Agent'), include the equivalent Linux service names and instructions (e.g., systemctl restart servicename).
  • When showing log file paths or error messages, provide both Linux and Windows examples, or clarify when examples are OS-specific.
  • If referencing hostnames or file paths in error logs, alternate between Linux and Windows examples, or provide both.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps where relevant, such as commands to restart services or check logs on Linux systems.
  • Ensure parity in all procedural steps, not just in file locations, but also in operational commands and terminology.

Windows First Windows Tools Powershell Heavy Windows Path Examples Windows-Centric Instructions
Summary:
The documentation exhibits a Windows-first bias in several areas: Windows examples, paths, and tools are consistently presented before Linux equivalents; Windows-specific tools and conventions (such as command prompt, C:\ paths, and UI screenshots) are emphasized; and instructions often default to Windows-centric language and directory structures, even when discussing Linux prerequisites. While Linux instructions are present, they are frequently secondary, less detailed, or require extra manual steps (such as downloading and placing installers).
Recommendations:
  • Present Linux and Windows instructions in parallel, giving equal prominence to both platforms in each section.
  • When providing example commands or paths, show both Windows and Linux versions side by side.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific directory structures (e.g., C:\Program Files...) as the default; instead, clarify the equivalent Linux paths.
  • Include Linux UI screenshots where applicable, or clarify when a UI is Windows-only.
  • When referencing tools or services (e.g., Volume Shadow Copy Service), explain Linux equivalents or note if not applicable.
  • Ensure that manual steps for Linux (such as downloading and placing installers) are as streamlined as possible and clearly documented.
  • Use neutral language (e.g., 'on your server' instead of 'on your Windows machine') unless the instruction is truly platform-specific.
  • Add troubleshooting and antivirus exclusion guidance for Linux with the same detail as for Windows.
