Summary
The documentation exhibits a Windows bias in several areas: Windows Server is the only supported OS for the replication appliance, Windows-specific ports and protocols (WinRM, WMI) are mentioned before Linux equivalents, and some steps (such as replication appliance setup) lack Linux alternatives. While Linux migration steps are included, parity is not maintained throughout, and some Windows tools and troubleshooting are prioritized or exclusively mentioned.
Recommendations
  • Provide Linux-based options for the replication appliance, or clearly state if only Windows is supported and explain the rationale.
  • When discussing prerequisites and port requirements, present Linux and Windows instructions side by side, or in parallel sections, rather than listing Windows first.
  • Include Linux-specific troubleshooting steps and examples, especially for common issues (e.g., SSH, cloud-init, disk drivers).
  • If certain features (like the replication appliance) are Windows-only, suggest alternative approaches for Linux-heavy environments or clarify limitations up front.
  • Ensure that all command-line examples and configuration steps are given for both Windows (PowerShell/WinRM) and Linux (SSH/terminal) where applicable.
  • Balance the mention of Windows and Linux tools in post-migration best practices and monitoring sections.
