Summary
The documentation page for Azure Migrate assessments demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric technologies (Hyper-V, SQL Server, IIS), providing examples and troubleshooting steps only for Windows environments, and omitting explicit guidance or examples for Linux servers and workloads. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., dynamic memory in Hyper-V, IIS for web apps, SQL Server) are mentioned exclusively or before any Linux equivalents, and there are no Linux-specific troubleshooting steps or assessment scenarios.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and troubleshooting steps for Linux servers (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS) in assessment scenarios.
- Include guidance for assessing Linux workloads, such as Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and other common Linux services.
- Mention Linux-specific migration blockers, readiness checks, and remediation steps alongside Windows examples.
- Clarify how the Azure Migrate appliance collects performance data from Linux servers, including any required agents or permissions.
- Provide parity in documentation for web app assessments by including scenarios for Linux-based web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) in addition to IIS.
- Ensure that references to tools and features (e.g., dynamic memory, SQL Server) are balanced with Linux equivalents or alternatives.
