Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific features (such as Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server) and omitting Linux-specific migration considerations or examples. There are no explicit Linux or cross-platform command-line examples, and the only OS-specific benefit mentioned is for Windows Server. The instructions and tips (such as editing the hosts file) are generic but do not provide Linux-specific guidance (e.g., /etc/hosts).
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux migration examples and considerations, such as handling Linux VM replication, OS disk selection, and post-migration steps for Linux workloads.
  • Include Linux-specific instructions for tasks like DNS resolution (e.g., editing /etc/hosts instead of only referencing 'hosts file').
  • Mention Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability or alternatives for Linux VMs, or clarify that it is Windows-only.
  • Provide parity in troubleshooting steps, such as verifying network connectivity using Linux tools (e.g., dig, nslookup, curl) alongside any Windows tools.
  • Ensure that any OS-specific features or benefits are clearly labeled as such, and provide equivalent guidance for Linux where possible.
