Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by exclusively referencing Windows-specific tools (WAImportExport.exe) for unlocking disks, providing detailed PowerShell instructions, and omitting Linux-native methods for drive unlocking and verification. The only tool for unlocking BitLocker-encrypted disks is a Windows executable, with no mention of Linux alternatives (e.g., dislocker). All command-line examples for job creation and management use Azure CLI and PowerShell, but the critical post-export step (unlocking disks) is Windows-only. There are no Linux shell or tool examples for handling exported drives, and the documentation does not address Linux users' needs for BitLocker decryption or log verification.
Recommendations
- Add instructions for unlocking BitLocker-encrypted drives on Linux using tools such as dislocker, including example commands.
- Provide parity in post-export steps by including Linux shell commands for verifying data integrity and reviewing logs.
- Explicitly mention cross-platform compatibility for all steps, or note any limitations for non-Windows users.
- If WAImportExport.exe is required, clarify its platform limitations and offer alternatives or workarounds for Linux/macOS.
- Consider reordering or balancing examples so that Linux methods are presented alongside or before Windows-specific ones where possible.
