Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias in several ways: instructions for modifying the Azure Migrate appliance configuration and restarting services are given exclusively for Windows environments (using Remote Desktop, editing files in %programdata%, and restarting services via PowerShell commands). There are no equivalent Linux instructions or examples, despite the possibility of running the appliance on Linux. Windows tools and patterns (Remote Desktop, PowerShell, Windows file paths) are mentioned first and exclusively, with no mention of Linux alternatives.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-specific instructions for accessing and editing the appliance configuration (e.g., SSH, nano/vim, Linux file paths).
  • Include commands for restarting the Azure Migrate gateway service on Linux (e.g., systemctl, service).
  • Mention both Windows and Linux environments when discussing appliance management, and ensure parity in troubleshooting steps.
  • Use platform-neutral language where possible, or clearly indicate when steps are platform-specific.
  • Add examples for both Windows and Linux users for all relevant steps.
