Summary
The documentation exhibits a strong Windows bias. All prerequisites and examples for preparing drives and running the WAImportExport tool require a Windows system and Windows-specific tools (NTFS, BitLocker, WAImportExport.exe). There are no instructions or examples for performing these steps on Linux or macOS, nor is there mention of Linux-compatible tooling or file systems. The documentation assumes the user has access to and is familiar with Windows environments, leaving Linux users without guidance.
Recommendations
- Provide explicit guidance for Linux users, including supported scenarios and limitations.
- If the WAImportExport tool is Windows-only, state this clearly and offer alternative approaches for Linux users (e.g., using Azure CLI, PowerShell Core, or other cross-platform tools where possible).
- Include Linux-specific prerequisites and examples, such as preparing disks with ext4 or other Linux file systems, and handling encryption with Linux-native tools.
- If BitLocker or NTFS is required, explain how Linux users can prepare disks (e.g., using third-party utilities or mounting NTFS volumes).
- Clarify whether the import/export process can be initiated or managed from Linux using Azure CLI or REST APIs, and provide sample commands.
- Add a section comparing Windows and Linux workflows, highlighting any differences or limitations.
