Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows server preparation instructions are presented before Linux, with more detailed steps and troubleshooting guidance. The installer script section exclusively references PowerShell and Windows tools (IIS, registry keys, Windows Activation Service), with no mention of Linux equivalents or instructions for running the appliance on Linux. The appliance setup and configuration examples, screenshots, and troubleshooting paths are all Windows-centric. Linux instructions are present but less detailed, and there are no Linux-specific installer or configuration examples.
Recommendations
  • Provide parity in example order and detail: Present Linux and Windows preparation steps with equal prominence and detail.
  • Add Linux installer instructions: Include clear steps and examples for installing and running the Azure Migrate appliance on Linux servers, including command-line examples (e.g., bash, systemd).
  • Include Linux troubleshooting guidance: Offer troubleshooting steps and log file locations for Linux, similar to those provided for Windows.
  • Clarify platform support: Explicitly state whether the appliance can be installed and run on Linux, or if it is Windows-only. If Windows-only, suggest alternatives or workarounds for Linux environments.
  • Balance tool references: When mentioning Windows tools (PowerShell, IIS, registry), also reference Linux equivalents (shell scripts, Apache/Nginx, config files) where applicable.
  • Add Linux screenshots: Include screenshots or terminal output examples for Linux setup and configuration steps.
