Summary
The documentation page for Azure Migrate assessments demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric technologies (Hyper-V, SQL Server, IIS), omitting Linux-specific examples and tools, and prioritizing Windows environments in explanations. There is a lack of parity in mentioning Linux workloads, migration scenarios, or troubleshooting steps, and no Linux-specific migration blockers or readiness checks are discussed.
Recommendations
- Include explicit examples and guidance for assessing and migrating Linux servers (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL) alongside Windows/Hyper-V/VMware examples.
- Add troubleshooting steps and readiness checks for common Linux services and workloads (e.g., Apache, Nginx, MySQL, PostgreSQL).
- Mention Linux-specific migration blockers and how Azure Migrate handles Linux OS discovery, performance data collection, and compatibility checks.
- Provide parity in documentation for both Windows and Linux environments, ensuring that Linux tools, patterns, and assessment nuances are covered.
- Reference Linux migration tools (e.g., rsync, scp, Azure Linux Agent) where appropriate, and clarify differences in agent installation or data collection between Windows and Linux.
- Add links to Linux migration tutorials and best practices in the 'Next steps' section.
