Summary
The documentation page exhibits significant Windows bias. All prerequisites and drive preparation steps require a Windows system, BitLocker (Windows-only), and the WAImportExport tool (Windows executable). All examples for preparing disks, unlocking drives, and running the import/export tool are Windows-centric, with no mention of Linux or cross-platform alternatives. Command-line examples are exclusively for Windows CMD/PowerShell, and there is no guidance for Linux users on how to participate in the import/export workflow.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state platform limitations in the prerequisites section, clarifying that the Import/Export tool and workflow are currently Windows-only.
- If possible, provide or reference Linux-compatible tooling or workflows for disk preparation, encryption, and data copying (e.g., using LUKS for encryption, NTFS support on Linux, and alternative copy tools).
- Offer guidance for Linux users on how to prepare disks for import, including any supported cross-platform methods or workarounds.
- Add a note about future plans for Linux support or alternative workflows, if available.
- Where PowerShell or CMD commands are given, provide equivalent bash or shell commands if feasible, or explain why they are not possible.
- Highlight any Azure CLI steps that can be performed from Linux, and clarify which steps require Windows.
