Summary
The documentation page exhibits several types of Windows bias. Windows tools and patterns (such as PowerShell, WMI, WinRM, and Windows authentication) are mentioned and required in multiple sections, often before or instead of Linux equivalents. SQL Server discovery is supported only for Windows servers, with Linux explicitly not supported. Example scripts and configuration details are provided only for Windows authentication and SQL Server authentication, with no equivalent Linux database examples. Web app discovery provides detailed requirements for Windows/IIS, but Linux/Java web app support is limited and less detailed. In several places, Windows requirements (such as PowerShell, WMI, WinRM, and specific user groups) are described in detail, while Linux requirements are summarized or omitted.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux examples and scripts for database discovery and permissions, such as for PostgreSQL or MySQL.
- Expand Linux support for SQL Server discovery, or clarify alternative approaches for Linux-based databases.
- Include Bash or shell script deployment options for the Azure Migrate appliance, not just PowerShell.
- List Linux tools and patterns (such as SSH, sudo, systemd, etc.) with the same level of detail as Windows tools.
- Ensure that Linux requirements (such as required user permissions, ports, and commands) are described as thoroughly as Windows requirements.
- Where features are Windows-only, explicitly state Linux alternatives or workarounds.
- Add more detailed examples for Linux web app discovery, including supported stacks and configuration steps.
