Summary
The documentation repeatedly references the on-premises data gateway, which is a Windows-only tool, and links to PowerShell-based automation and management guides without mentioning Linux alternatives. There are no examples or instructions for installing or managing the gateway on Linux or macOS, nor are cross-platform command-line tools or patterns discussed. The only troubleshooting tip for connection issues refers to restarting the 'gateway Windows service account,' further reinforcing the Windows-centric approach.
Recommendations
- Clearly state that the on-premises data gateway is Windows-only early in the documentation.
- Provide guidance or alternatives for Linux/macOS users, such as recommending self-hosted connectors, built-in connectors, or other cross-platform integration patterns.
- If possible, mention any roadmap or alternatives for Linux support, or link to relevant feedback channels.
- When referencing automation (e.g., PowerShell), note that these instructions are for Windows and suggest cross-platform management options if available.
- Add troubleshooting tips relevant to Linux/macOS environments if any connectors or workflows support those platforms.
