Summary
The documentation for Azure Site Recovery Deployment Planner for VMware disaster recovery is heavily Windows-centric. All instructions, prerequisites, and examples assume the use of Windows Server or Windows PC, with no mention of Linux or macOS alternatives. Required dependencies (.NET Framework, Visual C++ Redistributable, Excel) are Windows-only, and the tool itself appears to be a Windows executable. There are no Linux/macOS usage instructions, nor are cross-platform equivalents or workarounds discussed.
Recommendations
- Clarify explicitly that the tool is Windows-only, and note the lack of Linux/macOS support.
- If possible, provide a cross-platform version of the tool or document alternative approaches for Linux/macOS users.
- Offer guidance on running the tool in a Windows VM or container for users on non-Windows platforms.
- List platform requirements at the top of the documentation to set expectations early.
- Include a FAQ or troubleshooting section for non-Windows users.
