Summary
The documentation page for Azure Migrate assessments demonstrates a Windows bias by consistently referencing Windows-centric technologies (Hyper-V, IIS, SQL Server) and tools, while omitting Linux-specific examples, patterns, or troubleshooting steps. Windows environments (Hyper-V, IIS, SQL Server) are mentioned explicitly and repeatedly, whereas Linux environments (e.g., Linux VMs, Apache/Nginx web servers, MySQL/PostgreSQL databases) are not addressed in assessment types, readiness checks, or error resolution. The documentation assumes Windows server roles and migration scenarios, and does not provide parity for Linux workloads or tools.
Recommendations
- Add explicit examples and guidance for assessing Linux VMs, including common distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE).
- Include troubleshooting steps and readiness checks for Linux environments, such as agent connectivity, performance counter collection, and supported configurations.
- Document assessment types and migration paths for Linux-based workloads (e.g., Apache/Nginx web servers, MySQL/PostgreSQL databases) alongside Windows equivalents.
- Reference Linux tools and commands where relevant (e.g., systemd, top, sar, lsof) for performance and readiness data collection.
- Ensure that all instructions, error messages, and remediation steps are applicable to both Windows and Linux environments, or clearly indicate platform-specific differences.
- Provide parity in examples, tutorials, and links for Linux environments, not just VMware/Hyper-V/Windows-centric scenarios.
