Summary
The documentation page exhibits a strong Windows bias. Troubleshooting steps and examples are almost exclusively provided for Windows environments, particularly for the Azure Migrate appliance running on Windows. PowerShell and Windows command prompt commands are used throughout, and tools like services.msc, Service Bus Explorer, and editing the Windows hosts file are referenced without Linux equivalents. There are no examples or instructions for performing these tasks on Linux-based appliances, nor is there guidance for using Linux-native tools or shell commands.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent troubleshooting steps for Linux-based Azure Migrate appliances, including commands for systemd/service management, network connectivity (e.g., using 'systemctl', 'service', 'netstat', 'ss', 'nc', or 'curl'), and file editing.
  • Include Linux shell command examples (e.g., bash) alongside PowerShell commands for tasks like network testing, DNS resolution, and file manipulation.
  • Reference Linux-compatible tools for interacting with Azure resources, such as Azure CLI, and clarify if tools like Service Bus Explorer or AzCopy are available and supported on Linux.
  • Explicitly state OS requirements and support for the Azure Migrate appliance, and if only Windows is supported, make this clear early in the documentation.
  • Where GUI steps are described (e.g., services.msc), provide CLI alternatives for Linux systems.
  • Add a section or callouts for Linux users, outlining any differences or limitations in troubleshooting and operation.
