Summary
The documentation demonstrates a strong Windows bias: the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool must be installed and run on a Windows machine, with no mention of Linux or macOS support. All installation instructions and troubleshooting steps are Windows-specific (e.g., PowerShell installer, Windows file paths, Windows log locations). There are no Linux or cross-platform installation examples, and the use of PowerShell is assumed. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users who may wish to run the tool natively.
Recommendations
  • Provide instructions and support for installing and running the Azure Migrate: App Containerization tool on Linux (and possibly macOS), including shell script equivalents for installation.
  • Offer Linux-specific examples for installation, troubleshooting, and artifact locations (e.g., Linux file paths, log locations).
  • Clarify platform requirements early in the documentation and, if Windows-only is a technical limitation, explain the rationale and provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., using a VM or container).
  • Include CLI alternatives to PowerShell commands, such as Bash or Azure CLI, for cross-platform usability.
  • Consider developing and documenting a cross-platform version of the tool to improve accessibility for Linux-based development teams.
