Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate shows a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific features (such as Windows Server redeployment, Windows OS upgrade, and Windows licensing/ESU savings) are highlighted prominently and frequently. PowerShell is often mentioned as the automation tool for migration tasks, with little or no mention of Linux-native alternatives. Windows tools and patterns (e.g., IIS, SCOM, PowerShell scripts) are referenced more often and sometimes before Linux equivalents. Linux support is mentioned, but Linux-specific examples, tools, or automation patterns are sparse or absent, and Windows scenarios are often described first or in greater detail.
Recommendations
- Add Linux-specific migration examples and walkthroughs (e.g., using Bash, Ansible, or native Linux tools) alongside PowerShell examples.
- Ensure parity in feature descriptions by explicitly mentioning Linux support and providing equivalent details for Linux scenarios (e.g., disk encryption, OS upgrades, agent installation).
- Highlight Linux migration benefits and scenarios (such as SELinux, systemd, or popular Linux distributions) with the same prominence as Windows features.
- Include references to Linux-native automation and orchestration tools (e.g., shell scripts, cloud-init, Ansible) in migration workflows.
- Where PowerShell is mentioned, also provide Bash or cross-platform CLI alternatives.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows scenarios are described together, rather than Windows-first.
