Summary
The documentation for Azure Migrate demonstrates a moderate Windows bias. Windows-specific features (such as Windows Server redeployment, Windows OS upgrades, and extended security updates) are frequently highlighted, often before or in greater detail than Linux equivalents. PowerShell is regularly referenced as the automation tool, with little mention of Linux-native alternatives (e.g., Bash scripts). Windows tools and patterns (e.g., IIS, Operations Manager, RVTools, PowerShell utilities) are referenced more often than Linux-native tools. Linux support is present and improving (e.g., SSH authentication, Sudo support, Enterprise Linux migration), but Linux examples and tooling are less prominent and sometimes missing.
Recommendations
- Provide Linux-specific examples and workflows alongside Windows ones, especially for automation (e.g., Bash scripts, Ansible, shell commands).
- Ensure parity in documentation for Linux migration scenarios, such as redeployment using Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for Linux servers.
- Highlight Linux-native tools and patterns (e.g., systemd, Apache, Nginx, SELinux) where relevant, not just Windows-centric ones (e.g., IIS, Operations Manager).
- Include explicit Linux migration and modernization case studies, especially for popular distributions (Ubuntu, CentOS, RHEL, SUSE).
- Reference cross-platform automation options (e.g., Azure CLI, Terraform, REST API) equally with PowerShell.
- When listing features, avoid consistently mentioning Windows scenarios first; alternate or group by platform.
