Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate Appliance FAQ demonstrates a strong Windows bias. Deployment and management instructions are centered around PowerShell scripts, with no mention of Bash or Linux-native tooling. Troubleshooting steps and screenshots exclusively reference Windows interfaces (e.g., certificate manager, group policy editor), and all examples for certificate management and MSI validation use Windows tools. There are no Linux-specific deployment, update, or troubleshooting examples, and Linux server scenarios are only mentioned in passing (e.g., as a credential type), not in operational guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific deployment instructions, including Bash scripts or CLI commands for appliance setup and management.
- Include troubleshooting steps for Linux environments, such as how to validate certificates and MSI packages using Linux tools (e.g., OpenSSL, GnuPG).
- Add screenshots and examples for Linux equivalents of certificate management and agent health checks.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and offer alternative guidance for Linux-based appliances.
- Ensure parity in update and maintenance instructions, such as how to keep the OS and appliance up to date on Linux.
- Explicitly mention supported Linux distributions and any prerequisites for running the appliance on Linux.
