Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several areas: Windows Server is the default OS for the replication appliance, with explicit instructions for Windows installation and configuration, while Linux is only briefly mentioned. PowerShell is referenced as the manual setup method for the appliance, with no equivalent Linux scripting guidance. Windows-specific registry changes and activation troubleshooting are detailed, but Linux post-migration steps are minimal. The Azure VM agent installation is automated for Windows but only recommended (and manual) for Linux. Examples and step-by-step instructions consistently prioritize Windows, with Linux relegated to short notes or secondary mentions.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit, step-by-step instructions for setting up the replication appliance on a Linux VM, including supported distributions and required packages.
  • Offer Linux shell script equivalents for manual appliance setup, mirroring the PowerShell instructions.
  • Include detailed Linux-specific troubleshooting steps for post-migration issues, similar to the Windows activation section.
  • Expand the guidance for preparing Linux VMs, including common configuration changes, security considerations, and agent installation procedures.
  • Ensure parity in examples and screenshots, showing both Windows and Linux scenarios where applicable.
  • Clarify which features and steps apply to both OS types, and highlight any differences in process or requirements.
