Summary:
The documentation is heavily biased toward Windows environments. All prerequisites, setup steps, and tooling (BitLocker, NTFS, WAImportExport tool) are Windows-specific. There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, and all command-line examples for disk preparation and encryption use Windows tools (manage-bde, BitLocker, PowerShell). The only cross-platform section is the Azure CLI, but it is only used for job creation, not for disk preparation or encryption.
Recommendations:
- Clearly state at the beginning if the Azure Import/Export tool and workflow are only supported on Windows, and if so, explain why.
- If Linux or macOS support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for preparing disks, encrypting with open-source tools (e.g., LUKS/dm-crypt), and copying data.
- Mention and document any cross-platform alternatives or limitations explicitly.
- If only Windows is supported, suggest workarounds for Linux users (e.g., using a Windows VM or container for disk preparation).
- Add a table or section comparing Windows and Linux/macOS support for each step, so users can quickly see platform requirements.
- For Azure CLI and PowerShell sections, clarify which steps are platform-agnostic and which require Windows.
