Summary
The documentation exhibits several forms of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools (PowerShell, WMI) and authentication mechanisms are referenced frequently and sometimes exclusively. Examples and scripts for SQL Server discovery are only provided for Windows authentication and SQL Server authentication, with no Linux database discovery support. Windows requirements (such as PowerShell and WMI) are detailed, while Linux equivalents are either missing or less emphasized. In several sections, Windows servers are discussed first or in more detail, and Linux support is limited or absent (e.g., SQL Server and ASP.NET web apps discovery).
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and scripts where applicable, especially for database discovery and authentication.
- Include parity in tooling requirements, such as mentioning Bash and Linux-native tools alongside PowerShell and WMI.
- Clearly state limitations for Linux and offer alternative approaches or workarounds where support is missing.
- Present Windows and Linux requirements side-by-side in tables for equal visibility.
- Expand support for Linux workloads (e.g., SQL Server on Linux, ASP.NET Core on Linux) where possible, or link to migration alternatives.
