Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All prerequisites and disk preparation steps require a Windows system, BitLocker (Windows-only), and the WAImportExport tool (Windows executable). There are no instructions or examples for Linux or macOS users, nor mention of cross-platform alternatives. Command-line examples for disk preparation use Windows tools (manage-bde, PowerShell), and the only supported workflow is via Windows. While Azure CLI and PowerShell examples are provided for job creation, the core data import workflow is Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state Windows-only requirements at the start and clarify lack of Linux/macOS support.
- If possible, provide or reference cross-platform alternatives for disk encryption and preparation (e.g., Linux-compatible tools, BitLocker alternatives, or WAImportExport support for Linux).
- Offer guidance for Linux/macOS users, such as using a Windows VM or Azure Virtual Machine for disk preparation.
- Add a FAQ or troubleshooting section for non-Windows users.
- Monitor and document any future support for Linux/macOS in the Import/Export tooling.
