Summary
The documentation exhibits moderate Windows bias. Windows tools and paths (e.g., C:\Program Files, C:\Temp) are mentioned first or exclusively in several sections, such as Mobility service installation and configuration server setup. PowerShell is frequently referenced as the primary automation/scripting method, with Linux equivalents (shell scripts, CLI) rarely mentioned or described in less detail. Some instructions (e.g., manual MySQL installation, agent unregistration) provide Windows examples first, and Linux examples are present but less emphasized. There is little mention of Linux-native tools or automation approaches, and some steps (e.g., downloading installers) assume Windows file paths.
Recommendations
- Present Linux and Windows instructions side-by-side, giving equal prominence to both.
- Include Linux-native automation examples (e.g., Bash scripts, Azure CLI) alongside PowerShell.
- Reference Linux file paths and conventions wherever Windows paths are mentioned.
- Clarify when a step is OS-specific and provide explicit guidance for both platforms.
- Review all sections for assumptions of Windows environments and add Linux/macOS alternatives where relevant.
