Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate replication appliance demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All operating system requirements, examples, and instructions are exclusively for Windows Server (2016/2012 R2), with no mention of Linux support or alternatives. Software installation paths, licensing, and configuration details are Windows-centric (e.g., C:\Temp\ASRSetup, .msi installers, Windows Server roles, group policies, IIS settings). There are no Linux deployment instructions, examples, or parity notes, and the appliance appears to require Windows Server, excluding Linux-based environments.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based replication appliances are supported or not. If not supported, clarify this early in the documentation.
- If Linux support is possible, provide equivalent instructions for deploying and configuring the appliance on Linux (e.g., supported distributions, required packages, installation paths, service management).
- Include Linux-specific examples for MySQL installation, file placement, and network configuration.
- Mention Linux alternatives for Windows-specific tools and settings (e.g., group policies, IIS, .NET Framework).
- If only Windows is supported, add a rationale and guidance for Linux users seeking migration solutions.
