Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a mild Windows bias by listing Microsoft Hyper-V and VMware vSphere as the first examples of supported platforms for discovery and migration, with Hyper-V (a Windows technology) mentioned before other platforms. The tools and scenarios focus on Azure Migrate, which is tightly integrated with Microsoft technologies. However, there are references to AWS, GCP, and bare-metal servers, and the page explicitly states agentless discovery works for 'any platform.' There is no evidence of PowerShell-heavy bias, and PowerShell is specifically called out as unsupported for this scenario.
Recommendations
  • Provide explicit Linux-based examples alongside Windows/Hyper-V examples, such as migration of Linux VMs or physical Linux servers.
  • Mention Linux-native tools or patterns where relevant, such as SSH or Linux-based automation for migration and assessment.
  • Ensure that documentation screenshots and walkthroughs include Linux scenarios, not just Windows-centric ones.
  • Clarify that agentless and agent-based migration supports both Windows and Linux operating systems, with links to Linux-specific guidance.
  • List non-Windows platforms (e.g., Linux, VMware, AWS, GCP) before or alongside Windows/Hyper-V in all examples to avoid Windows-first ordering.
