Summary
The documentation page exhibits several signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific tools and patterns (e.g., PowerShell scripts, references to Windows Server versions, and Windows authentication mechanisms) are mentioned before or more prominently than their Linux equivalents. The option to set up the Azure Migrate appliance using a PowerShell script on Windows Server is highlighted, while no equivalent Linux-based setup method is described. Windows requirements (such as PowerShell installation) are called out explicitly, whereas Linux instructions are less detailed and lack example commands. Windows tools (like VMware Tools and VDDK installation paths using Windows file system conventions) are referenced without Linux alternatives. There are no Linux shell command examples or detailed Linux setup instructions, and Windows authentication mechanisms are discussed in more depth than Linux (SSH) authentication.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux-based setup instructions for the Azure Migrate appliance, including shell script or manual deployment steps.
- Include Linux command-line examples (e.g., SSH key generation, file extraction, service management) alongside Windows/PowerShell examples.
- Clarify Linux requirements (such as minimum SSH version, required packages, or configuration steps) with the same level of detail as Windows prerequisites.
- Reference Linux file system paths and conventions when discussing installation steps (e.g., VDDK extraction location).
- Discuss Linux authentication mechanisms (such as SSH password and key-based authentication) with examples and troubleshooting tips.
- Balance the coverage of Windows and Linux tools, ensuring that Linux-specific tools and patterns are mentioned with equal prominence.
- Add troubleshooting sections for common Linux issues encountered during discovery and assessment.
