Summary
The documentation for Azure Import/Export service is heavily Windows-centric. All OS requirements, software prerequisites, and disk preparation instructions reference Windows versions and tools (BitLocker, .NET Framework, PowerShell). There are no Linux or macOS equivalents mentioned, nor are there examples or instructions for preparing disks on non-Windows platforms. The WAImportExport tool and BitLocker are both Windows-only, and disk sector size checks are shown only with PowerShell commands.
Recommendations
- Clarify whether the WAImportExport tool is available or supported on Linux/macOS, and if not, state this explicitly.
- Provide instructions or alternative tooling for preparing disks on Linux (e.g., using cryptsetup for encryption, fdisk/lsblk for sector size checks).
- Include Linux/macOS examples for checking disk sector size and formatting disks.
- Mention cross-platform alternatives for disk encryption and preparation if available.
- Add a section on limitations for non-Windows users and suggest workarounds or supported scenarios.
