Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: Windows tools and technologies (such as PowerShell, WinRM, WMI) are mentioned first and in greater detail than their Linux equivalents. PowerShell is the only script-based setup method described for the Azure Migrate appliance, with no Linux shell script alternative provided. SQL Server and IIS web app discovery are supported only on Windows, with Linux support explicitly missing or limited. Example scripts and configuration steps are provided only for Windows authentication and SQL Server, with no equivalent Linux database or web server examples. Linux instructions are generally brief, refer to external links, or are less detailed.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux shell script examples for appliance setup, similar to the PowerShell script provided for Windows.
- Include detailed instructions and examples for Linux server configuration, such as enabling SSH, required user permissions, and troubleshooting steps.
- Add parity for SQL Server discovery on Linux, or explicitly document the roadmap and alternatives for Linux database assessment.
- Offer examples for discovering and assessing Linux web servers (e.g., Apache, Nginx) and web apps, not just Tomcat.
- Ensure that Linux commands and requirements are listed as prominently and in as much detail as Windows prerequisites.
- Where features are Windows-only, clearly state the limitation and suggest alternative approaches for Linux environments.
