Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias by prioritizing Windows Server migration scenarios, highlighting Windows-specific features (such as free security updates for Windows Server 2008/2008 R2), and providing detailed guidance on Windows OS upgrades using Azure Migrate. There is a lack of equivalent Linux migration examples, Linux-specific tooling, or mention of Linux OS upgrade capabilities. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., Custom Script Extension for Windows) are described in detail, while Linux migration and upgrade processes are not addressed.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for migrating Linux servers, including common Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL).
- Provide details on Linux OS upgrade options during migration, or clarify if such features are unavailable.
- Include information about Linux-specific migration blockers, readiness checks, and remediation steps.
- Mention and describe Linux equivalents for tools and extensions (e.g., Custom Script Extension for Linux).
- Ensure parity in cost-saving features, such as Azure Hybrid Benefit, by providing examples for Linux subscriptions.
- Balance references to end-of-support scenarios by including Linux EOL cases and migration incentives.
- Where Windows-specific features are highlighted, add corresponding Linux notes or alternatives.
