Summary
The documentation for the Azure Migrate replication appliance exhibits a strong Windows bias. All operating system requirements, examples, and instructions are centered around Windows Server (2016/2012 R2), with no mention of Linux support or deployment. Software installation paths, licensing, and configuration details are Windows-specific (e.g., C:\Temp\ASRSetup, .msi installers, Windows Server roles and group policies). There are no Linux equivalents or instructions for deploying the appliance on Linux-based systems, nor are Linux tools or patterns referenced.
Recommendations
- Explicitly state whether Linux-based deployment of the replication appliance is supported or not. If not supported, clarify this limitation.
- If Linux deployment is possible, provide equivalent instructions for Linux (e.g., supported distributions, installation steps, required packages, service configuration).
- Include Linux-specific examples for MySQL installation, such as using apt, yum, or rpm, and appropriate file paths (e.g., /tmp/ASRSetup).
- Reference Linux system requirements and configuration settings alongside Windows equivalents.
- Avoid Windows-only terminology and provide parity in documentation for both platforms.
- If only Windows is supported, add a rationale for this choice and guidance for Linux users (e.g., recommend using a Windows VM for the appliance).
