Summary
The documentation page for Azure Import/Export service displays a strong Windows bias. All examples and requirements are focused exclusively on Windows operating systems and tools, such as BitLocker, .NET Framework, and PowerShell commands. There is no mention of Linux support, alternatives, or equivalent tooling, and all instructions and supported platforms are Windows-centric.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux is supported or not for the WAImportExport tool and disk preparation. If not supported, clarify this limitation.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for preparing disks on Linux, including recommended tools (e.g., cryptsetup for encryption, fdisk/lsblk for disk info).
- Include Linux-compatible examples for checking disk sector size and formatting disks.
- Mention Linux file system compatibility (e.g., NTFS support on Linux, or alternatives if possible).
- If BitLocker is required and not available on Linux, suggest cross-platform alternatives or clarify the requirement.
- Provide parity in documentation structure, listing Linux requirements and steps alongside Windows, not just after.
