Summary
The documentation page demonstrates Windows bias by providing only Windows-specific tooling and examples for key management tasks, such as bandwidth throttling (using PowerShell cmdlets like New-NetQosPolicy and referencing GatewayWindowsService.exe), and configuration file locations (using Windows file paths like C:\ProgramData\Microsoft Azure\Config). There are no Linux equivalents or examples, nor is there mention of how to perform these operations on Linux-based appliances, despite Azure Migrate appliances supporting Linux. Windows terminology and tools are presented exclusively and first, with no parity for Linux users.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Linux instructions for bandwidth throttling, such as using tc or other Linux network QoS tools, and reference the relevant Linux service/process names.
- Include Linux file path examples (e.g., /var/lib/azure/config) for configuration files like GatewayDataWorker.json, and clarify how to restart the gateway service on Linux.
- Explicitly state whether the Azure Migrate appliance supports Linux, and if so, offer step-by-step guidance for both platforms in all relevant sections.
- When referencing scripts or sample commands, offer both PowerShell and Bash/shell script versions.
- Review all examples and operational guidance to ensure Linux users are not excluded and can achieve parity with Windows users.
