Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate replication appliance demonstrates a clear Windows bias. All operating system requirements, examples, and instructions are focused exclusively on Windows Server (2016/2012 R2). There are no references to Linux as a supported OS for the replication appliance, nor are there Linux-specific instructions or examples (e.g., for MySQL installation, system requirements, or deployment steps). Windows tools and patterns (such as .msi installers, C:\Temp paths, Windows Server roles, and group policies) are mentioned exclusively, with no Linux equivalents or alternatives provided.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux is supported as a host OS for the replication appliance. If not, clarify this limitation early in the documentation.
- If Linux is supported, provide Linux-specific instructions for appliance deployment, including system requirements, package installation (e.g., MySQL via apt/yum), and configuration steps.
- Include Linux examples for MySQL installation, such as commands for Ubuntu (apt-get install mysql-server) or RHEL/CentOS (yum install mysql-server), and specify Linux file paths.
- Mention Linux equivalents for Windows-specific concepts (e.g., group policies, IIS roles) or clarify that these are not applicable on Linux.
- Ensure parity in troubleshooting and upgrade instructions for both Windows and Linux environments, if Linux is supported.
