Summary
The documentation page for Azure Import/Export service demonstrates a strong Windows bias. All operating system requirements and examples are Windows-only, with explicit references to Windows versions and Windows Server. The required software section only mentions .NET Framework and BitLocker, both Windows technologies. Disk preparation instructions exclusively use PowerShell commands, with no Linux alternatives or mention of Linux-compatible tools. There is no guidance for users on Linux or macOS, nor any mention of cross-platform support for the WAImportExport tool.
Recommendations
- Add explicit information about Linux and macOS support or limitations for the WAImportExport tool.
- If Linux is unsupported, state this clearly and suggest alternatives (e.g., AzCopy) for Linux users.
- Provide Linux equivalents for disk sector size checks (e.g., using 'lsblk', 'fdisk -l', or 'blockdev --getss').
- Mention cross-platform tools and workflows where possible, and clarify which steps are Windows-specific.
- Include a table or section comparing Windows and Linux/macOS requirements and procedures for Azure Import/Export.
