Summary
The documentation page demonstrates a Windows bias through heavy use of PowerShell for migration monitoring and management, explicit references to Windows tools (e.g., SetupDiag), and frequent mention of Windows-specific options (e.g., Windows OS upgrade, Windows activation troubleshooting, Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server). All command-line examples are given in PowerShell, with no Linux CLI or Bash equivalents. Windows terminology and features are often mentioned before or instead of Linux alternatives, and Linux-specific guidance is minimal or absent.
Recommendations
  • Provide equivalent Bash/CLI examples for monitoring and managing migrations, especially for Linux users who may not use PowerShell.
  • Clarify that Azure Cloud Shell supports Bash and provide sample Bash commands where possible.
  • Include troubleshooting steps and post-migration checks for Linux VMs, similar to those provided for Windows (e.g., activation issues, OS upgrades).
  • Mention Linux-specific migration considerations, such as handling of Linux bootloaders, disk partitioning, and post-migration configuration.
  • Balance references to Windows tools (e.g., SetupDiag) with Linux equivalents or note when a tool is Windows-only.
  • Highlight Azure Hybrid Benefit applicability for Linux (if relevant) or clarify its Windows-only scope.
  • Ensure that guidance for VM agent installation, updates, and management is equally detailed for Linux as for Windows.
