Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways. Windows Server and related technologies (PowerShell, IIS, SCOM, Windows Virtual Desktop) are frequently mentioned first or exclusively, with Linux-specific examples and tools appearing less often and sometimes only as secondary notes. Many migration scenarios, tool integrations, and feature highlights focus on Windows environments, and PowerShell is often referenced as the automation method, with little mention of Bash or Linux-native alternatives. Some features (e.g., OS upgrades, redeployment, dependency analysis) provide detailed Windows workflows but lack equivalent Linux guidance or examples.
Recommendations
- Ensure Linux migration scenarios are described with equal detail, including examples for common Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, SLES).
- Provide Bash or shell script examples alongside PowerShell for automation tasks, especially for agentless migration, dependency analysis, and onboarding.
- Highlight Linux-specific tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, SSH, sudo, SELinux) where relevant, and mention them before or alongside Windows tools.
- Add explicit Linux application migration examples (e.g., Apache, Nginx, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Java apps on Tomcat) in feature announcements and tutorials.
- Balance the order of presentation so that Linux and Windows environments are both covered in introductions, feature lists, and summaries.
- Include troubleshooting and best practices sections for Linux migrations, not just Windows.
- Review RBAC and security recommendations to ensure Linux-specific concerns (e.g., file permissions, sudo access) are addressed.
