Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias in several areas: PowerShell and Windows-specific tools (NetQosPolicy, Windows Scheduled Tasks) are used exclusively for bandwidth throttling examples, with no Linux equivalents provided. Windows operating systems and migration scenarios are often listed first or receive more detailed coverage, while Linux instructions and tools are less prominent or missing. The agentless migration section focuses on Windows-centric mechanisms and examples, and there is a lack of parity for Linux-based migration appliance management and scripting.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-based examples for bandwidth throttling (e.g., using tc, iptables, or Linux traffic control utilities) alongside PowerShell/Windows examples.
- Include instructions for managing the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux, such as using cron jobs or systemd timers for scheduled tasks.
- Ensure that Linux operating systems and migration scenarios are given equal prominence and detail in tables, lists, and explanations.
- Add Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and migration caveats where Windows-specific ones are present.
- Review the order of OS mentions in tables and lists to avoid consistently listing Windows first unless justified by usage statistics.
- Explicitly state when a feature or method is Windows-only, and offer alternative approaches for Linux users.
