Summary
The documentation is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and tooling (MARS agent, AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep utility, Azure PowerShell, reliance on Windows-specific browsers) are Windows-only. There are no Linux or macOS equivalents, nor any mention of how to perform offline seeding from non-Windows systems. This creates significant friction for users on Linux or macOS, who cannot follow the workflow as described.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit guidance for Linux and macOS users, including supported workflows and limitations.
- If offline seeding is not supported on non-Windows platforms, clearly state this early in the documentation.
- Offer alternative tooling or scripts for Linux/macOS if possible (e.g., cross-platform disk preparation utilities).
- Include examples using Azure CLI (which is cross-platform) instead of, or in addition to, Azure PowerShell.
- Clarify whether the AzureOfflineBackupDiskPrep utility can be run under Wine or in a VM, and document any workarounds.
- List browser requirements for Linux/macOS, or recommend alternatives if only Edge/IE are supported.
