Summary
The documentation page is heavily focused on Windows and PowerShell tooling for automating VMware migrations in Azure Migrate. All examples, instructions, and referenced scripts are exclusively PowerShell (.ps1), with no mention of Bash, Linux shell, or cross-platform alternatives. The prerequisites and installation steps assume the use of the Azure PowerShell module, and there is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS platforms. The documentation does not provide parity for Linux users or mention how to run these scripts outside of a Windows environment.
Recommendations
- Provide equivalent Bash or cross-platform scripting examples for Linux/macOS users.
- Document how to use Azure CLI for migration automation as an alternative to PowerShell.
- Clarify whether the PowerShell scripts can be run on Linux/macOS using PowerShell Core, and provide installation instructions for those platforms.
- List Linux prerequisites and environment setup steps alongside Windows instructions.
- Add notes or sections highlighting cross-platform compatibility and limitations, if any.
- Consider offering sample scripts in both PowerShell and Bash, or provide a wrapper for Azure CLI to achieve similar automation.
