Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias by referencing Windows-specific features (such as Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server) and omitting Linux-specific migration considerations or examples. Steps and options related to Windows (e.g., Software Assurance, Windows Server subscriptions) are described in detail, while there is no mention of Linux VM migration nuances, Linux-specific tooling, or example commands for Linux environments. There are no PowerShell-heavy instructions, but the overall flow assumes Windows as the primary workload and environment.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit instructions and examples for migrating Linux VMs, including any differences in process, prerequisites, or post-migration steps.
  • Include Linux-specific considerations, such as handling SSH keys, OS disk selection for Linux, and post-migration validation steps (e.g., verifying Linux services).
  • Provide sample commands for Linux environments (e.g., using Bash or Linux CLI tools) where manual steps are required, such as DNS configuration or connectivity validation.
  • Clarify whether Azure Hybrid Benefit or other licensing options apply to Linux workloads, and mention any relevant Linux licensing or support details.
  • Ensure that references to OS-specific features (like Windows Server Software Assurance) are balanced with Linux equivalents or a note that they are Windows-only.
