Summary
The documentation page exhibits a Windows bias in several ways: Windows server preparation is described first and in greater detail, with explicit PowerShell and Windows-specific tooling (WinRM, IIS, registry, Windows roles) referenced throughout. The installer script is only described as a PowerShell script to be run on Windows, with no mention of a Linux-native installation or script. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and there are no Linux-specific installer or configuration examples. Windows tools and patterns (PowerShell, WinRM, registry, IIS) are mentioned exclusively or before their Linux equivalents.
Recommendations
  • Provide parity in installer instructions for Linux servers, including a Linux-native installation script or process.
  • Include Linux-specific examples for running and configuring the Azure Migrate appliance, not just Windows/PowerShell.
  • Mention Linux tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, SSH, Linux file paths) where relevant, and describe their equivalents to Windows tools.
  • Ensure Linux server preparation steps are as detailed and prominent as Windows steps, possibly presenting both side-by-side.
  • Clarify whether the Azure Migrate appliance can be installed and run natively on Linux, and if not, provide guidance for Linux users (e.g., via containers, VMs, or alternative approaches).
  • Avoid presenting Windows instructions first by default; consider parallel or OS-neutral organization.
