Summary
The documentation is heavily focused on Windows environments, specifically Hyper-V on Windows Server and System Center Virtual Machine Manager. All examples, requirements, and supported scenarios are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux-based Hypervisors or management tools. Linux is only referenced as a guest OS, not as a platform for hosting or managing VMs. PowerShell is mentioned as the only CLI automation option, and Windows Server versions are listed exclusively. This creates friction for users on Linux or macOS, who cannot use Hyper-V or the described tooling.
Recommendations
- Clarify early in the documentation that Hyper-V is a Windows-only technology and that Linux hosts are not supported for this scenario.
- Provide links or references to equivalent disaster recovery solutions for Linux-based hypervisors (e.g., KVM, Xen) if available in Azure Site Recovery or elsewhere.
- If Azure Site Recovery supports other platforms, add parity tables/examples for those.
- Mention alternative CLI tools (e.g., Azure CLI, Bash scripts) where possible, not just PowerShell.
- Explicitly state the lack of support for Linux/macOS hosts to help users avoid confusion.
