Summary
The documentation demonstrates Windows bias by providing appliance-side instructions exclusively for Windows environments (Remote Desktop, PowerShell commands, Windows file paths), while omitting Linux equivalents. All examples and tooling for the Azure Migrate appliance assume a Windows OS, with no mention of how to perform these steps on a Linux-based appliance. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, net stop/start, %programdata% paths) are used without alternatives or parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Add instructions for performing appliance-side configuration and service restarts on Linux-based appliances (e.g., using SSH, systemctl/service commands, Linux file paths).
  • Provide Linux examples for editing configuration files and restarting services, alongside Windows instructions.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance supports Linux, and if so, ensure all troubleshooting steps are documented for both platforms.
  • Avoid using Windows-specific terminology and tools (e.g., PowerShell, Remote Desktop, %programdata%) without Linux equivalents.
  • Explicitly mention platform requirements and provide guidance for both Windows and Linux administrators.
