Summary
The documentation for the Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner is heavily biased towards Windows environments. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume the use of Windows Server or Windows PC, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. The tool itself appears to be Windows-only, requiring Windows-specific dependencies such as .NET Framework and Visual C++ Redistributable. There are no examples or guidance for running the tool on Linux or macOS, nor any discussion of cross-platform support.
Recommendations
  • Explicitly state platform limitations at the top of the documentation, clarifying that the tool is Windows-only if that is the case.
  • If possible, provide or develop a cross-platform version of the tool, or offer guidance for Linux/macOS users (e.g., running the tool in a VM or container).
  • Include alternative instructions or workarounds for Linux/macOS users, such as using Azure CLI, PowerShell Core (if supported on Linux), or other platform-agnostic methods.
  • Add a FAQ or troubleshooting section addressing common issues for non-Windows users.
  • Consider providing a roadmap or feedback channel for users requesting Linux/macOS support.
