Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate Appliance is heavily oriented towards Windows environments. Deployment and management instructions consistently reference PowerShell scripts and Windows tools (e.g., certificate manager, group policy editor, Windows Update). Troubleshooting and update procedures are described exclusively with Windows UI screenshots and workflows. There are no Linux-specific examples or parity for common administrative tasks, and Linux deployment/management patterns are not mentioned.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific deployment instructions, including shell script alternatives to PowerShell for appliance setup and management.
- Include troubleshooting steps for certificate validation and MSI updates using Linux tools (e.g., OpenSSL, Linux certificate stores).
- Add guidance for updating the appliance OS and agents on Linux, referencing package managers and update mechanisms.
- Offer parity in screenshots and UI walkthroughs for Linux environments where applicable.
- Clarify which steps are Windows-only and provide equivalent steps for Linux users, especially for credential management, certificate installation, and agent health checks.
