Summary
The documentation exhibits a notable Windows bias. The configuration server is deployed as a Windows Server 2016 VM, with all setup, registration, and management steps referencing Windows-specific tools, paths (e.g., C:\Temp\ASRSetup), and user experiences. Linux is only mentioned briefly in the context of providing root credentials for VM replication, but there are no Linux-based deployment examples, instructions, or parity for configuration server setup. All examples and screenshots are Windows-centric, and there is no guidance for Linux or macOS users who may wish to interact with or manage the configuration server.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit guidance or examples for Linux/macOS users where applicable, such as alternative ways to interact with the configuration server or manage files.
- Clarify whether the configuration server must be Windows-based, and if so, offer workarounds or integration points for Linux environments (e.g., remote management, SSH, etc.).
- Include Linux-specific instructions for tasks like downloading MySQL, managing credentials, or interacting with the configuration server, especially for environments where administrators may not have access to Windows.
- If possible, offer a Linux-based configuration server template or document why this is not supported.
