Summary
The documentation shows notable Windows bias: the guest OS is specified as Windows Server 2016, and all network configuration examples use Windows PowerShell cmdlets (Set-HcsIpAddress, Get-HcsIpAddress) with no mention of Linux equivalents. There are no Linux/macOS-specific instructions or examples, and the tutorial assumes the virtual device runs Windows, which may create friction for users who prefer or require Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether the Data Box Gateway virtual device supports Linux as a guest OS, and provide instructions for Linux if supported.
- If the device is Windows-only, state this limitation explicitly at the start of the tutorial.
- If Linux is supported, add examples for configuring the network using Linux tools (e.g., ip, ifconfig, netplan) and provide Linux/macOS-specific guidance for initial setup.
- Include a note about cross-platform compatibility and any restrictions regarding OS choice for the VM.
- If PowerShell cmdlets are required, explain how Linux/macOS users can access or use them (e.g., via PowerShell Core or remote management).
